Abstract
About the Study
Model for understanding and predicting economic growth in U.S. mid-sized regional economies similar to Cleveland and NEO
Analyzed structural and policy-based factors and looked for outperformers - what can Cleveland learn about their public policies and programs?
Used a multi-stage process collecting 43 variables associated with regional growth, including educational attainment, business composition, regional assets, and quality of life
The mid-sized regional economies analyzed encompass 135 metro areas, and includes populations spanning from 352,823 to 3.9 million
Used factor analysis as a data-reduction technique to identify factors influencing growth in mid-sized regional economies:
*Innovation and Talent
*Entrepreneurship in High Cost Areas
*New Residential Centers
*Retirement Destinations
*Polarization
Used regression analysis to determine the relationship between these factors and regional growth in employment, gross regional product (output), and per capita income
