1. The document discusses opportunities for boosting exports from the Atlanta region. It notes that Atlanta is already a major exporter but lags in export intensity and growth compared to other metro areas.
2. Metro areas play a unique role in boosting exports through organizing trade missions, coordinating federal, state, and local export programs, and mainstreaming exports. An export plan could help double Atlanta's exports in five years.
3. The plan would target key industries, develop strategies to leverage major exporters and improve support for small businesses. It would also work to develop networks and position Atlanta as globally engaged.

2. Impulsando el desarrollo a través de la atracción de IED en los sectores d...comexcr
This document discusses the challenges and opportunities facing middle-income countries as global wealth shifts. It notes that while shifting wealth has led to reduced poverty and new resources for development, middle-income countries face threats such as low productivity growth, challenges maintaining social cohesion as inequality remains high, environmental degradation, and difficulty increasing fiscal revenues to levels of developed countries. The document explores these issues through examples like China's growing labor disputes and Africa's youth unemployment despite population growth.
The document discusses the rise of user-generated content and its impact on the media landscape. It notes that user-generated content sites will earn $4.3 billion in advertising revenues in the US in 2011, up from $1 billion in 2007. Worldwide revenues from advertising on user-generated content sites will rise to $8.2 billion in 2011 from $1.6 billion in 2007. The number of users and creators of user-generated content is also growing significantly both in the US and worldwide according to the report.
Presentation on India at Canadian High Commission EventDr. Amit Kapoor
The document discusses assessing India's competitiveness. It provides background on the Institute for Competitiveness in India and its affiliation with Harvard Business School. It then presents several charts analyzing factors that influence India's competitiveness, including its population and GDP relative to other countries, shifts in GDP for major economies from 1990-2010, and structural shifts in India's economy from 1994-2010.
This document discusses how the Florida Department of Transportation is taking a multi-modal approach to mobility. It notes that traditional highway expansion is no longer sufficient due to limited funding and changing travel patterns. FDOT is now focusing on improving mobility through better integration of land use and transportation planning. The document highlights the SR 50 corridor study as an example of this approach. The study developed a multi-modal action plan through a collaborative planning process that considered both transportation and land use strategies.
1. The document provides economic indicators and trade data for Turkey.
2. It shows Turkey's GDP, exports, imports, and trade balance with the EU from 2007-2011. Turkey had a trade deficit with the EU each year.
3. Sectoral data indicates Turkey's economy has shifted from agriculture to industry and services, and its top EU trade partners are in machinery, chemicals, and textiles.
The document is a white paper on website globalization and e-business in Russia. Some key points:
- Russia has a population of over 140 million and one of the largest economies among BRIC countries, but just over half of urban Russians have internet access due to cost barriers.
- The majority of online sales in Russia are paid for via cash on delivery. Cybercrime is also a concern.
- To globalize a website for Russia, translations should consider cultural values like collectivism and uncertainty avoidance. The language utilizes Cyrillic script and has complex syllable structures.
- Effective localization involves translating text and ensuring the backend can support different languages and currencies to enable international e-commerce.
Congressman Patrick McHenry (NC-10) shared this presentation with constituents at town hall meetings across North Carolina's 10th District in August, 2011.
The document discusses the impact of the internet on small and medium sized businesses globally and in Australia. It finds that internet usage and e-commerce are growing rapidly worldwide and that businesses that leverage the internet, especially through websites and social media, experience significantly higher growth, greater geographic reach, improved marketing and customer interactions. The internet is shifting an increasing share of advertising spending and retail purchases online. Australian businesses must adapt to remain competitive in this changing environment.
This document summarizes key challenges facing city fiscal health and local revenues. It notes that the two major sources of local revenue, property taxes and intergovernmental aid, both declined in 2010. It also discusses how 46 states limit property tax increases and how local governments shed over 500,000 jobs from 2008 to 2011 due to fiscal pressures. A series of charts and graphs examine revenue sources, expenditures, debt, reserves, pensions, and population growth for various U.S. cities.

The document provides economic indicators and trade statistics for the Dominican Republic from 2000 to 2010. It summarizes that the Dominican Republic has a population of 10 million and area of 48,072 square km. GDP grew steadily from 2000 to 2010, while inflation decreased from highs in the early 2000s. The current account balance was negative for most years. The United States was the top market for both Dominican exports and imports. Major exports included electrical equipment, plastics, and tobacco, while mineral fuels and plastics were among top imports. Travel was the leading service export and import.
The document provides an analysis of India's economic growth. It summarizes key indicators such as GDP growth projected at 8-8.2% annually through 2012, with per capita income of $3,319 ranking India 129th globally. Industries like manufacturing and IT-ITES are growing at double digits, while agriculture and infrastructure development face challenges of low mechanization and funding respectively. Inflation and economic stability remain concerns for sustaining growth into the future.
Winterberry Group Dmcny Outlook 2010 Final (2)Ann Honomichl
This document summarizes Bruce Biegel's presentation on marketing trends in 2010. It discusses how (1) marketing budgets fell significantly in 2009 but are expected to rise modestly in 2010 as the economy recovers, (2) digital marketing will continue growing while traditional channels decline, and (3) direct mail volumes may stabilize but suppliers will need to focus on integration and analytics.
Kazakhstan has experienced strong economic growth and development over the past 20 years of independence. GDP growth averaged approximately 9% annually from 2000-2009, driven by exports of oil and metals. Major reforms including market liberalization, privatization, and a new tax code have improved Kazakhstan's business environment and attracted over $136 billion in foreign direct investment. The government has also established a National Oil Fund to manage resource wealth for long-term economic stability.
China overtook US to become the world’s largest auto market in 2009 and maintained its leadership in 2010. International brands reinforced their market leadership over their competitors. Volkswagen, General Motors and Hyundai were the top 3 manufacturers in 2010. China remains a 70% sedan market, while SUV & MPV enjoys steady growth.
Rapid urbanization will continue to drive the demand for cars. Read about this and other emerging consumer and industry trends for automotive in this paper authored by Booz & Co’s Bill Russo (click here to view Bill’s profile) entitled: “Realigning Strategic Marketing Focus to Gain Competitive Edge in China’s Automotive Industry”.

The document discusses global cities and their competitiveness. It identifies seven types of global cities based on their population, GDP, talent, traded sectors, innovation, infrastructure, industry characteristics, and economic characteristics. The first type discussed are "Global Giants," which are the largest global cities by population and GDP that play a dominant role in the global economy.
The document discusses changes in US manufacturing employment from 1980 to 2010, with 7 million jobs lost. However, manufacturing is not declining but reinventing itself through new paradigms of sharing brainpower in open, collaborative innovation districts and the development of a new branch of the economy focused on smart products and new production methods leveraging technologies like sensors, wireless IT, and big data. Examples are given of former "rustbelt" cities like Akron, Albany, and Research Triangle Park transforming into "brainbelts" by building on research strengths in areas like polymers, nanotechnology, and attracting talent through university collaborations and venture capital investment in advanced manufacturing.

Rhode Island innovates: A competitive strategy for the Ocean State
In the fall and winter of 2015–2016, the Metropolitan Policy Program at Brookings worked in association with Battelle Technology Partnership Practice (now TEConomy Partners, LLC) and Monitor Deloitte to advance a new competitive strategy for the state of Rhode Island.
This slideshow summary of the project’s final conclusions finds that Rhode Island possesses unique assets for building an advanced economy that works for all but stands weakened by the decline of its core “advanced industries.” Given that erosion, the slideshow asserts that five advanced industry and two “opportunity industry” growth areas hold out solid potential for growth in the Ocean State and recommends that Rhode Island should embark on a three-part strategy to strengthen its advanced industries and improve its statewide platform for growth.

The document discusses advanced industries, which are R&D-intensive industries that concentrate the nation's STEM workforce. Advanced industries include industries like pharmaceuticals, aerospace, software, and telecommunications. They account for over half of US GDP and private sector R&D spending and offer high wages even for jobs requiring less than a bachelor's degree. Advanced industries are concentrated in major metropolitan areas and drive regional specialization and innovation ecosystems across the US.
This document discusses strategies for metropolitan economic development. It provides examples of initiatives in Denver, Portland, and St. Louis that have created regional collaboration, increased exports, and developed innovation districts. These "game changers" fundamentally altered the economic profiles and performance of their metros. The document advocates for creating metropolitan networks and setting a vision to drive growth in areas like human capital, manufacturing, and clean economy jobs.
Presentation by Bruce Katz, VP of the Brookings Institution, on February 5 2015 in Washington DC.

__
Innovation and STEM-worker (science, technology, engineering, and math) intensive “advanced industries” are the prime movers of regional and national economic competitiveness in the United States. Industries like aerospace and auto, oil and gas extraction, or software and health IT stand at the forefront of the most disruptive technological and business dynamics of the moment, and will be central to U.S. prosperity going forward.
To consider the future of these industries, the Brookings Institution’s Metropolitan Policy Program hosted a major CEOs forum highlighting the importance of the nation’s advanced industries and the opportunities and challenges they face. Informed by new research from Brookings, the morning-long dialogue convened advanced industry CEOs as well as elected officials to discuss the increased viability of the U.S. platform for advanced industry investment as well as the extraordinary technology trends now altering the terms of competition.

http://www.brookings.edu/research/reports2/2014/11/diversity-explosion
__________
At its optimistic best, America has embraced its identity as the world’s melting pot. Today it is on the cusp of becoming a country with no racial majority, and new minorities are poised to exert a profound impact on U.S. society, economy, and politics.
Through a compelling narrative and eye-catching charts and maps, eminent demographer William H. Frey interprets and expounds on the dramatic growth of minority populations in the United States. He finds that without these expanding groups, America could face a bleak future: this new generation of young minorities, who are having children at a faster rate than whites, is infusing our aging labor force with vitality and innovation.
Diversity Explosion shares the good news about diversity in the coming decades, and the more globalized, multiracial country that U.S. is becoming.

Presentation on the State of Bavaria's economy, skills and innovation profile by Dr. Wolfgang Hübschle from Invest in Bavaria.
This presentation opened the 2014 Global Cities Initiative study tour of Munich, Germany, on November 18 2014.
The document discusses advanced industries in the United States and Germany. It finds that since the recession, the U.S. has been missing over 5 million jobs compared to pre-recession levels. Advanced industries make up a significant portion of the U.S. and German economies, but Germany invests more in research and has stronger workforce training systems like apprenticeships. The document argues the U.S. could benefit from adopting policies and institutions that strengthen regional innovation ecosystems like those in Germany.
This document discusses the importance of metropolitan regions and regional collaboration. It notes that metro areas generate the majority of economic output and population in the US. Several case studies of regional partnerships are provided, like Denver which passed a sales tax increase to fund a $4.2 billion light rail expansion across its metro area. The document argues that states should take a regional approach to economic development by creating networks of leaders across different sectors, setting a shared vision for growth, and identifying game-changing initiatives to fundamentally alter the region's economic trajectory.
The geography of innovation is shifting and a new model for innovative growth is emerging. In contrast to suburban corridors of isolated corporate campuses, innovation districts combine research institutions, innovative firms and business incubators with the benefits of urban living. These districts have the unique potential to spur productive, sustainable, and inclusive economic development.
On September 9, 2014, Brookings Vice President Bruce Katz presented a keynote to the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce's annual ForeCast SF event.
The document discusses the rise of innovation districts in America as a new model for fostering innovation. Innovation districts are geographic areas where anchor institutions, companies, startups, and business accelerators cluster and connect. They are physically compact, transit-accessible, and offer mixed-use housing, offices, and retail. Examples mentioned include Cambridge-MIT, Philadelphia-University City, and St. Louis-CORTEX. The key components that make innovation districts successful are their economic, physical, and networking assets as well as the overall innovation ecosystem.
