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.
