This paper estimates the benefits and costs of the incentive package provided to the proposed Ford battery plant in Marshall, Michigan. This project, announced in February 2023, involves a state and local business incentive package whose undiscounted value is $1.7 billion, and which is awarded to a plant that will eventually create 2,500 permanent jobs.

Bartik Benefit-Cost Model Of Business Incentives: A User’S Guide, Timothy J. Bartik

Users provide information on the incentives provided, and the incented jobs, and the model then produces estimates of the effects of the program on jobs, …
