Introduction
Tax incentives are a common tool used by governments around the world to promote economic development. By offering tax breaks to businesses and individuals, governments aim to stimulate investment, job creation, and overall economic growth. However, the effectiveness of tax incentives in achieving these goals is a topic of ongoing debate among economists and policymakers.
This thesis will examine the effectiveness of tax incentives in promoting economic development. Specifically, it will investigate the impact of tax incentives on investment, job creation, and overall economic growth. By analyzing existing literature and conducting empirical research, this study aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of tax incentives as a policy tool for economic development.
