Is Our Economy Diverse Enough To Compete Globally?
• Atlanta is no longer simply competing with other cities in the Southeast or the nation
• Global business leaders see Atlanta with international competitiveness
• Metro Atlanta’s economy must continue to leverage its assets to stay relevant and thrive in this global context
• Key determinants explored here include exports, innovation, competitiveness, employment, Gross Metropolitan Product (GMP), and home price

Exports
• Metro areas that seize opportunities in new markets will help boost the country’s economic competitiveness and create jobs locally
• The value of metro Atlanta’s exports has risen by 45% since 2005
Source: International Trade Administration , Brookings Institution “Export Nation 2012”
• While this is undeniably good, other research suggests that metro Atlanta lags behind other large metro areas in overall export activity
• As a share of the Atlanta region’s total metro GDP, only 8% is attributable to exports as of 2010, which ranks metro Atlanta 77th out of the 100 largest metros in the country.
Patents
• Patents are a good way to measure economic progress by indicating new knowledge and new innovations
• Metro Atlanta has increased its share of all patents developed in the 99 largest metro areas, from about 1.5 percent of all patents in 2000 to 1.9 percent by 2011
