Comparative High-Technology Industrial Growth: Texas, California, Massachusetts, and North Carolina
(Bureau of Business Research, The University of Texas at Austin, 1986) Campbell, John P.
To better understand the development of high technology industry in Texas, this monograph compares the high-technology industrial composition of Texas with that of California, Massachusetts, and North Carolina. Chapters examine interstate differences in high-technology industrial development by comparing (1) recent shifts in high-technology industry mix, (2) size distribution of firms, and (3) measures of locational specialization of labor, such as the ratio of production workers to scientists and engineers, levels of employee education, income distribution, and the comparative influence of education and work experience on earnings.
Economic Growth and Linkage with Silicon Valley: The Cases of Austin and Boston
(Bureau of Business Research, The University of Texas at Austin, 2004-12) Ayala, Sofía G.; Echeverri-Carroll, Elsie L.
What creates growth in a local economy? Answers to this question have varied markedly over the last forty years. In the 1980s, the revolutionary concept that knowledge, rather than labor and physical capital, was the prime engine of economic growth. This idea prompted policy makers and analysts to associate local economic development with the exchange of ideas among educated workers living in a city. A study was conducted that supported the suggestion that local firms operating in cities with a large pool of scientists and engineers can innovate more readily, secure more patents, and therefore enjoy more rapid rates of technical progress and productivity growth. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Silicon Valley in California and Route 128 in Massachusetts. Part of Austin's success as an innovation center is due to its ability to capture a large share of the flow of ideas and knowledge emerging from Silicon Valley.
