Dette er forskning du sikkert ikke kommer til å lese i norske aviser… en studie fra Harvard Business School viser at stater som har formannen i mektige komiteer i Senatet og Huset, mister arbeidsplasser og investeringer. Jo mer cash som strømmer til statene fra de offentlige skattekister, jo mindre skaper de selv.
Money quote: «…we show that fiscal spending shocks appear to significantly dampen corporate sector investment and employment activity. These corporate reactions follow both Senate and House committee chair changes, are present among large and small firms and within large and small states, are partially reversed when the congressman resigns, and are most pronounced among geographically-concentrated firms.»
