abstract = {The purpose of this report is to assist state policymakers and the public in better understanding the current economic policy issues surrounding the U.S. film and TV industry. This will aid in assessing Oklahoma’s potential as a more significant participant in the industry’s future growth.
A key underlying economic development theme addressed throughout the report is whether it is feasible to build a significant film and TV industry in Oklahoma? And if so, is it desirable to do so? It is important for policymakers to understand whether evidence suggests that the competitive environment will allow a far larger film and TV industry to be built in Oklahoma. And, if so, under what conditions.
A growing number of studies examine the economic role of the film and TV industry, as well as the contribution of state-level financial incentives. Existing studies provide considerable evidence on the experiences of other states over the past two decades. However, there is little consensus across the range of research on both the estimated economic outcomes and the proper measures of success to use when evaluating the outcomes. This inconsistency in existing research has created an uncertain foundation for making public policy decisions regarding the industry.
This report provides a critical review of findings in existing research and evaluates and reconciles many of the contradictory results. The objective of the review is to provide a clearer set of expectations for economic outcomes from efforts to expand the film and TV sector in the state. The report further provides original empirical research examining state-level economic effects from both the enactment and removal (or reduction) of film and TV incentives at the state level. The original research attempts to fill in the voids of knowledge left by previous research.
Collectively, these efforts are intended to provide a better foundational view of the economic role of the film and TV sector when forming public policy decisions.},
