Why Education Matters
in economic development
BALL STATE UNIVERSITY EDUCATION REDEFINED
Community Readiness Initiative
In spite of the exceptionally business-friendly
climate Indiana has long enjoyed…
…business development by itself is insufficient
to continue to fuel prosperity
BALL STATE UNIVERSITY EDUCATION REDEFINED
Community Readiness Initiative
What others say:
“In the knowledge-driven, computer-networked economy of the
future, what matters most is being a place where people want to
live: a place with great public schools, clean air and water,
wonderful recreational opportunities, low crime rates, and a
common bond of community pride and unity. These places, the
places where people want to live, will also be the places where
companies want to locate.”
– Gary Locke
U.S. Ambassador to China;
former U.S. Secretary of Commerce;
former Governor, State of Washington

Community Readiness Initiative
What others say:
“Factors that tend to drive emerging-industry human- resource
evaluations include the number of engineers and technicians
within the labor shed, the presence of colleges and universities
with matching technical programs, the overall educational level of
the local work force, and the presence of other higher technology
companies and similar industries in the area.”
– Phil Schneider and Raj Vahra, Deloitte Consulting

What others say:
“While surely both phenomena occur, we think that the evidence
supports the view that industries are responding to the area’s skill
distribution more than the view that the skill distribution is
responding to the area’s industries mix.”
– Edward Glaeser
• Harvard University economist and Author:
• Triumph of the City: How our Greatest Invention Makes Us
Richer, Smarter, Greener, Healthier, and Happier
• Cities, Agglomeration, and Spatial Equilibrium

What others say:
“Keep your tax incentives and highway interchanges, we will go
where the highly-skilled people are. They will go where they want
to live.”
– Carly Fiorina
Former CEO Hewlett-Packard and HP Compaq;
Former U.S. Senatorial candidate

What might we do about all this?
Help communities understand
“where they are,”
so they can develop grounded policies
based on
“where they can legitimately go”
to sustain economic self-sufficiency.

What might we do about all this?
Develop tools to measure communities’
relative alignment(s):
 Elected leadership with quantitative economic
data
