SUMMARY: Gov. Tate Reeves of Mississippi is focusing on economic growth in his second term, investing state funds in major projects like an electric battery plant and an Amazon data center. Dr. Joshua Hendrickson believes these investments can create network effects, attracting more companies and population to the state. The goal is to increase economic development and ultimately see economic growth. However, Mississippi's low population and workforce participation rate pose challenges, especially among young people. Hendrickson suggests creating an environment that rewards desired behavior to address these issues. Overall, the state is working towards creating network effects to boost its economy and attract more residents.
