The Effect of State Policies on the Location of Manufacturing : Evidence from State Borders

This paper provides new evidence that state policies play a role in the location of industry. The paper classifies a state as pro-business if it has a right-to-work law and anti-business if it does not. The paper finds that, on average, there is a large, abrupt increase in manufacturing activity when one crosses a state border from an anti-business state into a pro-business state
