Challenges facing the New York metropolitan area economy

James Orr and Giorgio Topa

Current Issues in Economics and Finance, 2006, vol. 12, issue Jan

Abstract: The skilled and well-educated workforce of the New York metropolitan area has played a large role in enabling the region to withstand adverse economic shocks and adapt successfully to a services economy. A further expansion of this \\"human capital\\" will enable the metro area to meet the challenges ahead: attracting new firms, maintaining immigration flows, and competing successfully with fast-growing metro areas in other parts of the country.
