Paper Summary

Pull factors were calculated for retail sales in West Virginia counties based on 1997 Census data. The study found that state sales tax policies can impact retail activity, particularly in border cities. This suggests that the state government may need to reconsider its sales tax policy to boost retail sales in these areas.
