Abstract

Though limited, local authorities possess a number of powers by which they can attempt to increase employment. A direct labour subsidy to a small competitive industry can never destroy jobs absolutely. However the same measure may create or destroy jobs relative to the effect of an indirect subsidy to a particular type of property. Different indirect subsidies may create or destroy jobs absolutely or relatively. Hence empirical research must precede policy formulation.
