Book excerpt: Texas' economic growth has consistently outpaced that of the United States as a whole over the past quarter century. What accounts for the state's economic success? And does it come at a price to be paid in the future? Ten-Gallon Economy features new research on regional economic growth and some surprising findings on Texas' unique tax and banking institutions, booming energy and export sectors, vibrant labor market, expanding demographics and human capital, and growing border economy. Texas has a dynamic economy, large yet flexible, but it is still subject to the booms and busts of the energy sector, which exercises an outsized influence. Taxes are low but regressive relative to national benchmarks, which fuels growth but can inhibit investment in education and health. Meanwhile, Texas, as one of only five minority-majority states, is poised to reap a big demographic dividend if it invests wisely in the coming generation of mostly Latino workers. Taken together, the chapters in this volume provide unique insight into the economy of the nation's second-largest state, laying out some of the choices facing policymakers charged with safeguarding the Texas growth premium for future generations.

Book excerpt: Texas Tomorrow presents a blueprint for growing the Texas economy resulting in a higher quality of life for its citizens. It promotes innovative and creative ideas to prioritize state spending, stabilizing the states taxing and regulatory programs, incentivizing the job creators and calls for true public school reform. The blueprint also shows us that there are alternatives to higher taxes and deeper spending cuts that rob our citizens of their ability to live, work and prosper. And finally it calls for the legislature to take bold steps to rein in spending, encourage economic development and for it to take a real leadership role as Texas transforms itself into a 21st century state.

Download or read book Education Technology and the Texas Economy Economics of education written by Policy Research Project on Education, Technology, and the Texas Economy and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic internationalization has caused the traditional advantages enjoyed by the Texas and U.S. economies to either disappear or to diminish in importance. Further, technology has allowed natural resources to become less important, while elevating knowledge and skills as the keys to improvements in productivity, living standards, and national power. The development and use of leading edge technology is necessary; a work force with higher-order thinking and communication skills is required. Unless we give greater attention to upgrading the skills and knowledge of those who have already completed school and enact fundamental structural reforms within the current school system, the economic challenges the country will face during the next 10 to 15 years are likely to be unmet. School productivity must be improved to bring almost all students to a level previously reserved for the elite. To help accomplish this, it is particularly important to improve the status, remuneration, and responsibilities of teachers. In addition, decisions must be decentralized to the schools, and highly qualified professionals must be held accountable for measured student achievement. Moreover, many successful interventions depend on changing attitudes and expectations; the elitist myth that educational achievement is due to innate ability rather than hard work must be abandoned. The bibliography contains 122 references. (KM)
