  • Summary

  • In this episode, the PricePod goes to Hollywood. Since the turn of the century, dozens of states have collectively given billions of dollars in tax breaks for an unusual purpose: to subsidize the development of movies and TV shows.

Michael Thom, an associate professor at the USC Price School, shares his research into whether the programs are meaningfully creating jobs and economic activity.
