Abstract

This paper examines the evolution and current state of industrial policy in the United States, focusing on strategies aimed at enhancing economic growth, competitiveness, and industrial innovation. Historically, U.S. industrial policy has fluctuated between periods of government intervention and market-led approaches. Recently, there has been a renewed emphasis on industrial policy to address challenges such as globalization, climate change, and technological innovations. The research used data from the National Solar Jobs Census 2019, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), and the Tax Foundation’s State Corporate Income Tax Rates and Brackets series. The analysis of the paper highlights the role of federal government, public-private, and regulatory frameworks in framing industrial policy outcomes. The paper emphasizes the effectiveness of industrial policy to achieve sustainable economic development in the United States. The research paper also suggests industrial policy recommendations for researchers.
