In the midst of economic slowdowns, it's often hard to think beyond the near term. But, just as the most effective companies take advantage of slowdowns to better position themselves for subsequent periods of strong economic growth, so, too, should states. For the current slowdown, caused in large part by higher energy prices and excesses in the housing market that have spurred turmoil in the financial services industry, will not last forever. In fact, given the experiences of past New Economy slowdowns (the early 1990s and at the turn of this century), the slowdown could be less severe than many past slowdowns. As a result, the more important economic question states should be focused on is whether their economies are well positioned for robust growth and innovation over the next decade. Being well positioned means that state economies need to be firmly grounded in the New Economy. These New Economy factors have become a fundamental capacity that states need to have to find success and navigate the shoals of economic change. This report uses twenty-nine indicators to assess that capacity and, in particular, to measure the differences in the extent to which state economies are structured and operate according to the tenets of the New Economy. In other words, it examines the degree to which state economies are knowledge-based, globalized, entrepreneurial, IT-driven, and innovation-based. With these indicators as a frame of reference, the report then outlines a state-level public policy framework aimed at helping states master forthcoming challenges and take advantage of opportunities. The report builds off three earlier reports (The 1999 State New Economy Index, The 2002 State New Economy Index, and The 2007State New Economy Index).

The 2007 State New Economy Index, released by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), is a state-by-state analysis of how state economies are transforming from an old industrial economic model based on smokestack chasing in which economic development success is measured by the number of big company relocations rather than in the creation and retention of high value-added, high-wage jobs. The Index, which expands on two earlier reports issued in 1999 and 2002, uses 26 indicators from a variety of sources to rank each state on the extent to which their economies are structured and operate to effectively compete regionally as well as globally. It examines the degree to which state economies are knowledge-based, globalized, entrepreneurial, information technology-driven and innovation-based. Perhaps the most important driver of the new economy, according to the Index, is the information technology revolution that is transforming virtually all industries and driving increased productivity. The good news is that various industrial sectors such as health care, education, transportation, government, real estate and others are at the early stages of digital transformation, and as they transform, productivity promises to continue to grow. On the other hand, technology has ushered in a new global competitive challenge to state economies. It has made it possible for more work to be done at a distance prompting many developing nations to establish the infrastructure, skilled workforce and business climate to be attractive locations for this work, and at a much lower cost. For example, in the past two decades, the number of industrial manufacturing relocations and significant expansions in the United States has fallen from an average of 5,139 per year for 1995-2000, to 3,162 in 2005. According to the Index, states at the top of the ranking tend to have a high concentration of managers, professionals and college-educated residents working in knowledge jobs. Their companies tend to be more geared toward global markets, both in terms of export orientation and the amount of foreign direct investments. All the states at the top of the ranking also show above-average levels of entrepreneurship, even those that are not growing rapidly in employment. Most are at the forefront of the information technology and Internet revolutions, with a large share of their institutions and residents embracing the digital economy. Most have a solid infrastructure that fosters and supports technological innovation and many have high levels of domestic and foreign immigration of highly mobile, highly skilled knowledge workers seeking good employment opportunities coupled with a good quality of life. Conversely, states ranking at the bottom of the Index tend to depend on natural resources or on mass production manufacturing and rely on low costs rather than innovative capacity to gain advantage. Massachusetts has held the top spot on the State Index issued in 1999, 2002 and 2007, while New Jersey and Maryland have each made a steady climbs with each Index to close the gap and take the second and third place rankings this year. Wisconsin, Vermont, North Dakota and Rhode Island made the greatest strides on the Index from 2002 to 2007, while Missouri, Maine, Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Hawaii recording the biggest decline in the rankings over the last five years. Given some states' reputations as technology-based, New Economy states, their scores seem surprising at first. For example, North Carolina and New Mexico rank 26th and 33rd, respectively, in spite of the fact that the region around Research Triangle Park (in the Raleigh-Durham metro area) boasts top universities, a highly educated workforce, cutting-edge technology companies, and global connections, while Albuquerque is home to leading national laboratories and an appealing quality of life. In both cases, however, many parts of the state outside these metropolitan regions are more rooted in the old economy. With the economic indicators as a reference, the Index also outlines an eight-point public policy framework of best practices that state officials can use as a guide to transform their economies and ensure raising standards of living for their residents.

The purpose of the State New Economy Index is to measure states' economic structure. Unlike other reports that assess state economic performance or state economic policies, this study focuses more narrowly on a simple question: To what degree does the structure of the 50 state economies match the ideal structure of the innovation-driven New Economy? For example, we know that a defining characteristic of the New Economy is that it is global. Therefore, the Index uses a number of variables to measure state economies' degrees of global integration.This edition of the Index builds on seven prior editions, which were published in 1999, 2002, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2014. It now uses 25 indicators, which are divided into five categories that best capture what is important about the New Economy:1. Knowledge jobs: Indicators measure employment of IT professionals outside the IT industry; jobs held by managers, professionals, and technicians; the educational attainment of the entire workforce; immigration of knowledge workers; migration of domestic knowledge workers; worker productivity in the manufacturing sector; and employment in high-wage traded services.2. Globalization: Indicators measure foreign direct investment; export orientation of manufacturing and services; and the share of each state's output that goes to high-tech goods and services exports.3. Economic dynamism: Indicators measure the degree of business churn (i.e., the percentage of new business start-ups and failures); the number of fast-growing firms (businesses listed in the Inc. 5000 index); the number and value of initial public stock offerings (IPOs) by companies; and the number of individual inventor patents granted.4. The digital economy: Indicators measure Internet and computer use by farmers; the degree to which state governments use information technologies to deliver services; adoption rates and speed of broadband telecommunications; and use of information technology in the health care system.5. Innovation capacity: Indicators measure the number of jobs in high-tech industries such as electronics manufacturing, telecommunications, and biomedical industries; the number of scientists and engineers in the workforce; the number of patents granted; industry investment in research and development; non-industry investment in research and development; movement toward a clean energy economy; and venture capital investment.

While every state continues to experience the impacts of the economic downturn and resulting recession, it will be many years before people understand the full nature and causes of the financial crisis. But it appears that one of the contributing factors to both the crisis and the anemic nature of the recovery has been the weakened position of the U.S. economy in global markets. This relatively untold story of the recession and recovery is, in fact, perhaps one of the major developments in the U.S. economy, one that will have significant impacts on state economies for decades into the future--particularly if the nation continues to ignore the issue. Some have argued that, given the economic downturn, now is not the time to focus on innovation; rather, everyone's chief concern should be job creation. Yet, fostering innovation and creating jobs are by no means mutually exclusive. To be well positioned to drive innovation-based growth, state economies need to be firmly grounded in "New Economy" success factors. This report uses twenty-six indicators to assess states' fundamental capacity to successfully navigate the shoals of economic change. It measures the extent to which state economies are structured and operate according to the tenets of the New Economy. In other words, it examines the degree to which state economies are knowledge-based, globalized, entrepreneurial, IT-driven, and innovation-based. With these indicators as a frame of reference, the report then outlines a new approach to state economic development based on the need to move to "win-win" strategies that help both states and the overall U.S. economy better compete in the new global economy. Weighting Methodology is appended. (Contains 1 box, 26 data sources and 102 endnotes.).

What is the 'new economy'? Where is it? How does it differ from the 'old economy'? How does the 'new economy' relate to issues such as the nature of work, social inclusion and exclusion? Geographies of the New Economy explores the meaning of the 'new economy' at the global scale from the perspective of advanced post-socialist and emerging economies. Drawing on evidence from regions around the world, the book debates the efficacy of the widely used concept of the ‘new economy’ and examines its socio-spatial consequences. This book is important reading for policy-makers, academics and students of geography, sociology, urban studies, economics, planning and policy studies.

There is now a wide spread interest in regions as a key focus in the organization and governance of economic growth and wealth creation. This important book considers the factors that influence and shape the competitive performance of regions. This is not just an issue of academic interest and debate, but also of increasing policy deliberation and action. However, as the readings in this book make clear, the very idea of regional competitiveness is itself complex and contentious. Many academics and policy makers have used the concept without fully considering what is meant by the term and how it can be measured. Policy formulation has tended to rush ahead of understanding and analysis, and the purpose of this book is to close this important gap in understanding. This book was previously published as a special issue of Regional Studies.
