　INTRODUCTION

　Different geographies and jurisdictions play different roles in the global economy. Some specialize in what economists call “seedbed” functions—generating new products and firms, often through cutting-edge innovation. Others specialize in corporate functions by offering attractive environments for company headquarters or other management activities. Still others specialize in more routine production functions for goods or services, handling aspects of the work that involve less innovation and have lower skill requirements. Finally, some regions specialize in resource production tied to geographical endowments, such as minerals, arable land, or lumber. Regardless of the particular focus of a regional or state economy, however, a defining trend of this era is the degree to which all have become more reliant on innovation as new technologies have become critical drivers of productivity and competitiveness. This is abundantly clear in both traditional economic data, such as high-tech export activity, and in newer metrics, such as broadband deployment. All regions have technological or innovation-driven activity occurring locally, either because long-established industries such as agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and professional services are rapidly evolving into tech-enabled industries, or because new developments such as cloud computing and ubiquitous access to broadband Internet service allow innovators to create new, Information Technology (IT)-enabled enterprises in virtually any connected small town or rural area they may choose. Yet policy discussions about America’s innovation-driven, high-tech economy too often spotlight just a few iconic places, such as the Route 128 tech corridor around Boston, Massachusetts; Research Triangle Park between Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, North Carolina; Austin, Texas; Seattle, Washington; and, of course, California’s always white-hot Silicon Valley. This was the case when the first edition of this report came out more than 20 years ago, and it remains true for the most part today. It has always been too myopic a view of how innovation is distributed across the country, and it is increasingly out of step with reality, because many other metropolitan areas and regions—from Denver to Salt Lake City to Minneapolis to Madison—are growing their innovation economies. An unfortunate result of this myopia has been that policy debates about innovation and economic development have come to be seen as the province of only the few states and regions that are recognizably tech heavy, while others are typecast to focus on their traditional bread and butter. This needs to change, not only because the premise is incorrect, but also because the states’ and regions’ competitive positions in the U.S. and global economies hinge on developing broad-based understandings and support for modernizing policy frameworks to spur innovation and growth. To be well positioned to take advantage of technological innovation, and thrive amid the ebbs and flows of the global economy, states need to be firmly grounded in what the Information Technology and Information Foundation (ITIF) and others have called “New Economy” success factors. This report assembles an index of 25 indicators across 5 economic categories to assess states’ fundamental capacities to successfully navigate an economy driven by technological innovation. It measures the degree to which state economies are knowledge based, globalized, entrepreneurial, IT driven, and innovation based. These data underscore how all states would benefit from implementing comprehensive innovation strategies. The federal government should complement those efforts by spurring development self-sustaining tech hubs in more parts of the country.

　THE

　INDEX

　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 th...
