Paul Bauer (), Mark E. Schweitzer and Scott Shane

Annual Report, 2005, pages 7-22

Abstract: According to a study featured in the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland's 2005 Annual Report, differences in state income levels can be explained largely by two factors: innovation and workforce skills. The study's findings suggest that increasing a region's knowledge base should be a primary component of economic development strategies.
