Politicians have a number of tools available for trying to transform the economy, ranging from industrial policy like the climate-focused IRA to tariffs. This project interrogates these policy tools to surface the tradeoffs each of these tools face. We collect and deploy novel new data, including around tax incentive contracts and project-level public statements by political leaders.
