SUMMARY:The Economics of Data Center & Fossil Fuel Tax Incentives: Who Really Benefits?
DESCRIPTION:Nathan Jensen is a Professor in the Department of Government at the University of Texas at Austin. His research focuses on economic development policy\, tax incentives and business-government relations. He is the co-author of Incentives to Pander\, which examines why governments often overuse subsidies and tax incentives when competing for corporate investment. \nIn this webinar\, Nathan will break down the economics and politics behind data center tax incentives\, explain why local governments frequently offer such large subsidies\, and explore whether communities actually see the promised economic benefits. Drawing on research and real-world examples – including recent data center deals – he will help you understand how incentive packages work\, why transparency matters\, and what you can do to demand accountability. \n→ Register here in HHN​
