Employment Effects of Research Universities

Abstract

Economists have long recognized the role of education in promoting economic growth and wellbeing. As the U.S. and other economies have become more “knowledge-based,” the links between education and economic activity have become even stronger. Once regarded as intellectual islands with limited impact on state (let alone national) economies, major universities have been portrayed more recently as economic “drivers” that shape the nature and growth of output and employment. But is there some empirical evidence of a relationship between research universities and economic activity?
