Explanation of Solution

Outcome of location bidding wars:

The location of industries is a big issue in Country U these days. All the communities are looking for new jobs from foreign organizations such as well-known car manufacturer Company M. Bidding wars are non-productive from the central economy perspective of the nation. There are many implications for the local public as they have to pay all the bills if the predicted success does not happen. These decisions are often without hearing the voice of the public and made by the political leaders of the community.

The economic analysis is made and the incentives against the benefits always might limit the giveaways. There are many downsides if there is a spread of incentives offered by almost all the cities, states, or countries. The limits on incentives are subjective to the situation of each locality and must be decided by analyzing each locality separately. Hence, the decision to limit incentives is subjected to the locations.
