My research focuses on understanding the forces driving regional economic competitiveness and transformation, and building upon this knowledge to improve the effectiveness of state and local economic development policy. My recent work examines regional influences on entrepreneurship; understanding the evolving spatial patterns of development in the U.S.; and the application of matched longitudinal employer-employee data sets to understand the development of human capital in regional industry clusters. I work extensively with large databases of spatially-referenced information.
