7 Economic development is metro-led.
Project Goals IMPLEMENT THE BLUEPRINT: go deeper to model specific, sophisticated development work, develop actionable plans, strengthen partner metro economies and enhance peer learning. ADVOCATE NEW FEDERALISM: identify and reveal the benefits of new partnership approaches and policies that place metros at the center of federal-state-local relations. DISPLAY THE NEW METROPOLITAN LEADERSHIP: demonstrate the existence of strong metropolitan leadership in forging comprehensive, integrated, and sophisticated metropolitan economic strategies. Economic development is metro-led. 7

8 Why Metros? Economic Geography and Place-Based Development
The Goal is National Economic Growth Goal is economic development - that is inclusive and sustainable. Metros are the means, not the ends 8

9 Why Metros? Economic Geography and Place-Based Development
The Goal is National Economic Growth Economic Growth Flows from Market Activity The outputs we care about – jobs, income, assets, sustainability – are primarily a function of the complex interaction of housing, labor, business and other market systems, enabled and shaped by government and civic sector activity Goal is to improve performance of these systems 9

10 Why Metros? Economic Geography and Place-Based Development
The Goal is National Economic Growth Economic Growth Flows from Market Activity Major Market Systems Operate at the Metro Level System performance is function of interactions of people and firms in context of characteristics of place – “on the ground.” Key geography of many of these systems and interactions is metropolitan region. Indeed, one of main reasons for very existence of cities is the agglomeration benefits of concentrating economic activity – an effect of place on market performance. 10

11 Why Metros? Economic Geography and Place-Based Development
The Goal is National Economic Growth Economic Growth Flows from Market Activity Major Market Systems Operate at the Metro Level Improving Metro Economic Performance Entails Customized Analysis and Activity System and environmental characteristics, opportunities and challenges “on the ground” vary by place. Particularly in the knowledge economy, increasing returns and imperfect competition are giving rise to specialization and divergence. 11

12 Why Metros? Economic Geography and Place-Based Development
The Goal is National Economic Growth Economic Growth Flows from Market Activity Major Market Systems Operate at the Metro Level Improving Metro Economic Performance Entails Customized Analysis and Activity To strengthen the national economy, we need to strengthen metro economies, and that requires ground-up, tailored, comprehensive activity. 12

13 Why “Metropolitan Business Planning”?
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLANNING TRADITIONAL BUSINESS PLANNING Vision for the Regional Economy Business Mission & Vision Status of Economy: Assets, Opportunities, Challenges Market Analysis Goal-Setting & Strategy Identification Analysis of Strategic Alternatives & Risks Identification of Policies, Programs, Products & Interventions Development of Products & Services Operational Planning for Implementation Operational & Management Planning Identification of Funding Needs and Sources Forecasting & Financial Planning Definition of Outcome Measures & Targets Target-Setting & Performance Tracking The steps to analyzing and improving a regional economy lend themselves to the proven discipline of business planning. 13

14 Elements of the Business Plan
MISSION/VISION Competitiveness (Wages, GRP, Innovation) Sustainability (VMT, Energy Efficiency) Inclusion (Participation in Employment, Business and Market Growth) MEASURABLE OUTPUTS/IMPACTS Wage Growth, Reduction in Unemployment, Reduction in CO2 Emissions, Neighborhood Revitalization MARKET SCAN Status, Systems, Dynamics (Spatial efficiency, Human capital trends matched to business growth, Business clusters/performance….) INSTITUTIONAL AND FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Regional Information Infrastructure Regional Coordination Specific Institutions/Implementation Capacity Financials  Investment “Prospectus” Tied to Outcome Measures GOALS/STRATEGIES Transit-Oriented Development Coordinated Workforce and Occupational Clusters Inner-City Retail Development PRODUCTS AND INTERVENTIONS WIRED Program, Regional Inclusionary Zoning, Green Impact Zones, 14

15 Example: From Goals to Products
Increase innovation rate MARKET SCAN: Patents, technology transfers, venture capital investments, start-ups, ... ILLUSTRATIVE STRATEGY: Increase commercialization of knowledge PRODUCTS/INTERVENTIONS: Innovation funds, business incubators, university partnerships, regional innovation consortia, etc. OUTPUTS/IMPACTS: New products, business starts, increased productivity, employment; … 15

16 Implications for Federal Policy
The federal government should strategically invest in regional prosperity as a priority for national economic growth. The federal government should incent and support comprehensive, integrated regional business planning, as it will enable more effective and efficient federal investment. Since regional performance depends upon local, specialized system interactions, the federal response needs to be cross- program, flexible and performance-driven. Federal policy should be driven ground-up by regional development plans (reversing the current dynamic). 16

19 TODAY’S AGENDA I. Welcome, Introductions, and Today’s Goals
II. Project Background III. Economic Framework – Understanding Metro Economies IV. Applying the Framework: MBPs V. Common Challenges and Cross-Fertilization Opportunities VI. Logistics – Work Plan, Timeline and Funding

20 Purpose of Framework Shared understanding of how regional economies work – a “theory of change” -- enables us to: Focus on what matters Understand how it causes economic growth Determine how to improve performance Develop common language, plan coverage and presentation There’s no one right answer… but there are a lot of wrong answers

21 Our Starting Point: the Blueprint Drivers
GOOD METROPOLITAN GOVERNANCE Sustainable Growth Inclusive Growth Productive Growth INNOVATION HUMAN CAPITAL INFRASTRUCTURE QUALITY PLACES PROSPERITY To implement, we need to move from descriptive to explanatory: understand underlying systems/mechanisms, and how to influence their performance. 21

22 What Drives Inclusive and Sustainable Economic Growth?
Local (Regional) Enabling Environment (Government regulation, tax and public goods, including particularly infrastructure and education; civic institutions; qualities of place, including the natural environment; etc.) Key Systems (Market processes – housing, labor, etc.; production dynamics – clusters, value chains, etc.; innovation dynamics - knowledge creation, networks, commercialization, etc.) Inputs to Production (Human capital; real estate; capital; natural and knowledge resources; etc.) Economic Outputs (Businesses – gross regional product, profits; households – wages, other income, etc.) Macro/Global Context & Trends

23 How Metro Economies Grow
Micro-Foundations Metro economy = total value of goods and services produced in the region Growth is inherently business sector growth (number, size and profitability of firms) Business sector grows through firm growth and location decisions (retention and attraction) Firm growth and location depend upon increases in efficiency and productivity (of firm and system, including product innovation) Core Question: What attributes of the region increase efficiency and productivity, leading to business sector growth?

24 What is it About Place that Affects Economic Performance?
“Cities exist to eliminate transport costs for people, goods and ideas” (Glaeser) Urbanization and Localization Economies: general and industry-specific benefits of concentration as workers and firms co-locate because of spillovers, synergies, shared labor and job pools, backward and forward linkages among firms, etc. – generating increased efficiency and productivity through flow of ideas and technologies, enhancements to human capital, economies of scale, reduced transaction and transport costs, and so forth. (Marshall, Krugman) New Growth Theory: location is becoming more important, and with different benefits, in the knowledge economy, as metros become increasingly centers of idea creation and transmission (through technology, human capital externalities, intellectual spillovers). Increasing returns to knowledge and imperfect competition lead to metro specialization and divergence. (Romer, Lucas) Institutional Economics: growth, and particularly innovation, take place in the context of an institutional infrastructure – research, professional and learning networks; universities and civic/business organizations; quasi- and governmental organizations and regulation – which can hamper or accelerate all of the other benefits of concentration. (Coase, Atkinson) Productivity and efficiency depend upon concentrations, interactions and synergies between economic activities  Key Q: Where are the leverage points to improve system performance?

25 Six Key Leverage Points Take Us from Theory to Practice
Enhance Regional Concentrations (and their performance): Industries, Occupations and Functions Deploy High Human Capital Aligned with Job Pools Develop Innovation Enabling Infrastructure Increase Spatial Efficiency Create Effective Public & Civic Culture & Institutions Develop and Deploy Information Resources These overlap, and themselves interact. This is work-in-process! Anticipate expanding and refining, especially in practice. 25

26 Enhance Regional Concentrations: Industries, Occupations and Functions
Leverage Point 1 What is it? This leverage point has to do with “clustering,” recognizing that what is clustering may be shifting -- toward occupations and functions -- and the whole notion may need to be broadened, brought to ground, and complemented with other production-side strategies. It focuses on the optimal interaction between production components of an economy – the optimal mix and scale of industries, occupations, functions; multiple specializations; etc. Cultivating benefits of concentration requires understanding nuances of what and how specific types of concentrations create efficiencies and enhance productivity in your region. Aspects to consider include: Current concentrations High-growth potential areas Geography of concentrations Optimal mix and scale of industries, occupations, functions What factors (locational, institutional, others) contribute to efficiency/productivity benefits gained from concentration Strategies might include: Provide co-location opportunities (e.g., business parks) Offer co-location incentives Enhance access to capital for targeted concentrations Strengthen institutional and network infrastructure Strengthen “inputs” to concentration – from training/education to venture capital

27 Deploy High Human Capital Aligned with Job Pools
Leverage Point 2 What is it? This leverage point addresses human capital in the context of economic performance: the goal is not just human capital, but linked, mutually reinforcing, human capital and job pools. Pools of workers and jobs/firms attract each other. Not just quality, but deployment, are key to productivity and efficiency gains. Entails a two-fold, iterative process: Growing supply of skilled workers to meet employer demands Growing demand for skilled workers by cultivating appropriate jobs Aspects to consider include: Concentrations and growth prospects (both skills and occupations) Existing skills/education levels – obstacles and opportunities Quality of education/training system Attraction/retention record and factors Strategies might include: Increase demand-side focus of workforce development Increase access, reduce transaction costs in labor market Links to occupational concentration strategies (Leverage Point 1) Production, attraction, retention strategies

28 Develop Innovation Enabling Infrastructure
Leverage Point 3 What is it?* Innovation inherently drives increasing productivity and efficiency, and is the source of all long-term growth. An infrastructure providing inputs and mechanisms to facilitate interactions and commercialization enhances innovation rates. Aspects to consider include: Cluster formation and dynamics Public sector enablers/constraints Nature of supporting institutions and networks Flow of R&D and early-stage business funding Rate/pattern of commercialization Firm starts, growth, trajectories Strategies might include: Build regional R&D capacity (education, facilities, funding) Foster entrepreneurship & commercialization of knowledge Institutional development: facilitate opportunities for interdisciplinary cross- fertilization Cluster formation, especially high human capital occupational concentrations (Leverage Points 1 and 2) *“…new products, new services, new technologies, new ways of organizing work, and new business models….” (Brookings Metro Policy)

29 Increase Spatial Efficiency
Leverage Point 4 What is it? The location of firms and workers, producers, suppliers and consumers within the region determines transportation costs for people and businesses, and influences agglomeration benefits (such as shared inputs and knowledge spillovers). Generally, to increase efficiency and productivity of the metro economy, we want to: Minimize transportation costs Reduce congestion Maximize agglomeration benefits Avoid segregation and concentration of poverty Aspects to consider include: Public policies re: land use/zoning, infrastructure, etc. Degree of housing-jobs mismatch Access to transit Spatial concentrations of firms, occupations, functions, etc. Strategies might include: Transit-oriented and mixed-use/mixed-income development Affordable housing programs (inclusionary zoning, etc.) Fostering business co-location

30 Create Effective Public & Civic Culture & Institutions
Leverage Point 5 What is it? Government and civic sector activities hinder or enhance the productivity and efficiency of the economic systems themselves – attracting entrepreneurs, enabling markets, lowering transaction costs, increasing deployment of assets, etc. A culture of trust and collaboration, as well as institutional flexibility and adaptability, are increasingly important (including particularly to leverage points 1 and 3). Aspects to consider include: Degree of horizontal and vertical fragmentation Areas and mechanisms for inter-jurisdictional coordination Transparency, openness, responsiveness Strategic engagement of citizens, private and civic sectors Strategies might include: Consolidation Revenue sharing Civic engagement (program specific) E-government Fast-tracking Special purpose entities Tailored incentives

31 Develop and Deploy Information Resources
Leverage Point 6 What is it? Rich information resources and networks increase market efficiencies by reducing finding, measurement and other transaction costs; facilitate knowledge spillovers and innovation; and enable continued business planning, monitoring and refinement. Aspects to consider include: Collection, accessibility, dissemination of relevant info Development and provision of analytic tools (not just data: answers) Specific market inefficiencies, barriers, opportunities Strategies might include: Data warehouse Market driven planning agency Cluster or strategy specific on-going shared info/analytics 31

43 MBP Component Metros’ Progress Next Steps
Mission/Vision Ensure mission/vision statements: Create a clear picture of where the metro sees itself in 5, 10, or 50 years Emphasize desired future outcomes, as opposed to the process for achieving them Reflect place-specific priorities/values Incorporate key messages articulated in topic-specific (e.g., transportation, housing) plans/reports Market Scan Organize analytic findings within the MBP “leverage points” framework Update out-of-date metrics, as data is available Identify and calculate metrics for drivers and leverage points not covered in existing analytic work Integrate analytic results from disparate sources to create a cohesive narrative of the local economy Begin deeper analytic dive into areas related to chosen DDI theme Goals Organize existing goals and strategies within the MBP “leverage points” framework Identify any gaps in coverage between (existing goals/strategies vs. leverage points) Articulate goals and strategies that fill in gaps, using results of Brookings-led and local market scan Quantify goals, where possible Strategies Detailed Development Initiative Convert DDI theme into discrete, concrete project by: Specifying the products, services and programs the DDI will deliver to implement the selected strategies; Conducting deeper market analysis on the relevant area(s) of the economy; Identifying and developing design, implementation, financial and other information from best comparable products, services and programs 43

44 The Market Analysis / Environmental Scan Describes and Situates Regional Economies
The concept of the baseline scan is to: Identify and measure key indicators of metro performance in the new economy Survey how well the regional economy is doing, what drives it, and what may be inhibiting its performance Inform the development of goals, strategies, and specific initiatives, setting the context for and informing the Detailed Development Initiative

45 Selected Indicators Measure What Matters
The purpose of the scan is to determine: What is important to measure? Metrics selected according to economic development theory and relevance to practice What factors deserve development attention? Scan includes both high-level output measures (e.g., GMP) as well as outcome metrics (e.g., innovation rates) that can describe the performance of key factors/systems that account for overall performance How can metros do better on targeted factors? Scan also evaluates measures of inputs and mechanisms (e.g. availability of venture capital) that can be influenced to improve performance of key factors/systems

46 Brookings Will Compare Inputs and Performance Across the Top 100 Metros
Prosperity Output Productivity Wages Drivers E.g., human capital College attainment Knowledge occupations Levers High school attainment Labor force participation

47 Local Analysis Will Enhance the Brookings Scan with Additional, Specifically Local, Indicator Work
Prosperity Drivers E.g., human capital Skills/job matching Knowledge occupations in XYZ industries Levers Vocational and specialized degree programs

48 MDBO & DDI Need to Move Ahead Simultaneously
