Useful Stats II: TA Releases 50-State S&T Indicators
The Technology Administration (TA) has released the fourth edition of its guide of state science and technology (S&T) indicators. The Dynamics of Technology-based Economic Development provides an updated collection of data on the technology infrastructure of states, such as high school and advanced degree graduation levels, R&D investment and the numbers of patents issued. All 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico are included in the report.
For the first time, Dynamics contains a new section showing data changes for periods up to 10 years, which TA hopes will help state and regional efforts to track trends in state performance and the impact of policy decisions. Thirty-eight metrics are included; 25 measure inputs and 13 measure outputs or performance.
The PDF version of Dynamics of Technology-based Economic Development is available at: http://www.technology.gov/p_Reports.htm
