Abstract

The cyclical performance of state economies is a topic of concern to state planners which is likely to be of increasing importance. The continuing effort of the federal government to shift the budget responsibility for a growing number of programs to the state level has created a new urgency to the importance of understanding state cycles. If some state economies are more cyclically sensitive than other state economies, it is likely the ability to absorb the increased funding requirements of transferred federal programs will not be uniform among the states. The purpose of this paper is to identify the responsiveness of state economies to the cyclical performance of the overall U.S. economy. The identification of this responsiveness should help state planners concerned with understanding the cyclical performance of state economies.
