I happened to find the word 'incentive' in the title of a section in the  
United Nation's _Manual on Economic Development Projects_, New York, 1958.   
The book came out later than Hobson's 'Incentives in the New Social Order'  
(1922) and the word seems to appear once in the 248 page book, though. 
 
Part one    The subject of a project 
Capter II   Study of the market 
Case 10     The development of the motor vehicle industry in Brasil 
      1.    The policy of incentive 
(page 47) 
 
Acturally Brasil took a strong protectionist policy to deliver a 'un-born  
baby' industry.  The Export and Import Department restricted the issue of  
import licences for the purchase of mortor vehicle parts to those that could  
not be manufactured domestically.  I will pick up the phrases relating to  
'the policy of incentive'. 
 
'the Government policy which was adopted to encourage private industry to  
develop this branch of production and its successful implementation'.   
 
'The ... measures to stimulate production of motor vehicles' 
 
'a[n] effective safeguard and powerful stimulus was thereby created for  
domestic manufacturers.' 
 
I do not know much about UN's development programs of the day.  I picked  
this book up in the library when I looked for the literature relating to  
Japan's central planning for development during the 1950s and 1960s.
