Professor Dye initiated IGPA's study of the impact of property tax caps on the Illinois collar counties since 1991 and a study of the impact of tax increment financing on local economic development in Illinois. Both of these projects led to a number of research papers and public presentations. He has written on the impact of property tax classification on business activity, voter preferences for the equalization of school property taxes, earmarking revenues for specific public expenditures, the growth and stability of different state revenue sources, and the impact of stadiums and professional sports on local development.
