Yet, despite its frequent and casual use, there is little if any agreement on its meaning. Academics have been slow to embrace the term, holding a healthy skepticism toward such political utterances. The American Enterprise Institute (AEI) brought together experts from a variety of fields to discuss the issue of competitiveness and how it may influence their disciplines. This volume is composed of the nine papers that were presented at three conferences attempting to answer the question: if "competitiveness" were to have a rigorous and relevant meaning in your field, what might that be? The volume begins with a chapter outlining the arguments surrounding competitiveness and a discussion of the Tiebout model along with its application to the international stage. From there, the chapters address the subjects of competitive tax policy, education policy, immigration, innovation, health care, international trade, and measuring international competitiveness. The conclusions these papers reach enrich the debate on what competitiveness is and how policymakers should strive to support it."--Page [4] of cover. 650 0 $a Competition. 700 1 $a Hassett, Kevin A. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180127044617.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826071224.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E9AA37D26B5411E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
