Each passing week seems to bring new or revamped initiatives aimed at taming the U.S. economic situation and keeping track of where the money is going becomes more and more complex. To keep things straight, the Milken Institute has created an ongoing tracking system of programs and associated obligated or already-spent funding.
The Milken Institute
Capital Access Index (CAI) scores the ability of entrepreneurs to gain access
to financial capital in countries around the world. The CAI measures not only
the breadth, depth and vitality of capital markets, but also openness in providing
access without discrimination, a measure of the global progress in the democratization
of capital.
The Best-Performing Cities ranking depicts those U.S. metropolitan areas that are recording the top economic performance and creating the most jobs in the nation. The components include job, wage and salary, and technology growth.
The State Technology and Science Index looks at the ecosystem of economic development and sustainability, such as a states research and development capabilities, entrepreneurial capacity and risk capital infrastructure, human capital, and the intensity of its technology and science workforce, and gauges the technology and science assets that can be leveraged to promote economic development.
The Knowledge-based Economy Index (formerly New Economy Index) measures which states are in the best position to take advantage
of the opportunities for growth in the information age. The Index measures 12
criteria considered crucial to successful economies, from research and development
dollars to venture capital investment and measures of globalization. The data
is then merged to determine each state’s place on the Index.
The Cost-of-Doing-Business Index indicates each state’s comparative advantages or disadvantages in attracting and retaining businesses. Those states with a low cost of doing business have, on average, greater job growth than those with high costs. The Index measures fundamental business costs, including labor, taxes, real estate and electricity.
