The Determinants of the Geographical Distribution of the Formation of New and Small Technology-Based Firms

摘要

The problem addressed by this research study is to identify the factors or conditions which explain the pronounced variation in the distribution among geographical subdivisions of the U.S. of the formation of new and small technology-based firms (NSTBF). In addition, this study attempts to develop the policy implications of these factors for guiding efforts to stimulate the economic development of individual states of the U.S. and/or their geographical subdivisions.
