Economic and Production Impacts of the 2009 California Film and Television Tax Credit

This report, including the economic impact of the California Film & Television Tax Credit, as well as the analysis of the LAEDC study were funded by The Headway Project and are also published in a separate Headway Project report titled "There’s No Place Like Home: Bringing Film & Television Production Home to California," by Michael Kong and Aniruddha Bette. It can be found on their website at www.headwayproject.org. The Headway Project contracted with UCLA-IRLE to conduct the economic analysis for this study, and to provide our specific expertise in the area of measuring employment subsidy programs such as this tax credit. Thus, for this report, UCLA-IRLE provided the economic analysis piece and The Headway Project provided the public policy piece
