Abstract: A survey of Illinois agribusiness firms was used to identify factors that have a positive or negative influence on expansion or contraction decisions. The most positive factors for expansion, and the most negative for contraction, relate to perceived market conditions. State development incentives were found to be ineffective. The most negative factors toward expansion related to worker's compensation laws and insurance costs, as well as other factors more directly under the control of state laws. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
