• If not specifically prohibited by the law, it is allowed.– For an economy, allows flexibility
• Which do you have?
Local power• Korea United States

Local government
Structure of decentralized and overlaying local governments:
• Local governments have a lot of power
• Means need to collaborate and cooperate
• Means that they also compete– Often choose to compete on incentives and low
taxes– Could compete on well-run government, quality
of workforce, quality of life, business climate
Economic development
• National government determined
• Market determines
• Market with government policies and incentives– National government – Local government
Level for economic development?
• At the level of the majority of costs and benefits– Some projects have national importance
• National government giving incentives makes little economic sense unless it has an explicit regional policy

Collaboration and cooperation
• Between governments
• With businesses
• With citizens
• With non-profit agencies
Citizen participation
Formal:• Elections• In some jurisdictions citizens can petition to
put issues on the ballot• Some laws require citizen input
– Oversight commissions– Public hearings
Informal• Local government may ask for citizen input • Citizens take an idea to local government
How to get citizens to participate
• Ask citizens for their ideas
• Work to make sure all groups are involved
• Meet where citizens are comfortable
• Have a history of using citizen input– Don’t ignore the ideas that you asked for
Economic development ideas
• All economic development requires a mix• A concentration only on manufacturing and large
scale infrastructure may not fit the current global economy
• Also may not fit the current national economy• Services (or tertiary) include a lot of business
services that are very important– Original idea was that services just served the local
population—still true for some services, but not all– What you call things influences how they are viewed

Is political ideology related to type of industry?
A conservative city tried fashion and video and it didn’t work
What attracts creative class?
• Quality of life in area
• Other talent in the area– Clusters are built on this
• Tolerance in the area
Tourism: An island with international tourism, is looking
at manufacturing because tourism is too cyclical
• Transportation costs
• National tourism potential?– Mexico has done this
• Tourism areas have a high quality of life, which attracts the creative class– What options exist?
Everyone is talking about biotechnology
Still new but will be as diverse as manufacturing is:
• Algae producing hydrogen for fuel
• Bacteria cleaning up oil spills
• Plants producing plastic or pharmaceuticals
• DNA computers
• Gene therapy
• Nano-biotechnology for medicine
Everyone is talking about IT
• Everything that we do relies on it
• Friedman, “The World is Flat,” talks about breaking down the IT steps
Universities
• Do they increase the local level of education?– Also need jobs to keep people in the area after
they are educated
• Should you move universities?– Generally no, but can start new ones– Economies of scale for a comprehensive
research university (creative class)– Focused research university (creative class)– Teaching university can be smaller
