Four major problems have dominated recent discussions of U.S. economic growth: the productivity slowdown that began in 1973, the dramatic differences in growth across regions throughout the postwar era, the relationship between productivity and U.S. international competitiveness, and the impact of the deterioration of the public infrastructure on the nation's economic performance. The analysis of regional productivity growth from this project could potentially offer important insights into all of these issues. In this project, the growth rate and level of productivity in twenty one industries for each of nine regions over the 1951-1986 period will be estimated. This approach parallels the trend in national productivity research toward disaggregation. Although this disaggregation has focused on narrower industry detail, it is likely that focusing on regional growth will lead to further gains. The results of the project will allow several important questions to be answered: (1) Has productivity grown more rapidly in some regions than others? (2) Was the productivity slowdown limited to a small number of regions, or was it more pervasive? (3) Is there any evidence that regional productivity levels are converging? (4) Are regional differences in productivity correlated with industrial characteristics, the degree of urbanization, education expenditures, regional investment in public infrastructure capital, and other public policies?

他说，美国政府最近在讨论美国的经济政策时，主要考虑了四个问题。 经济增长：始于1973年的生产率放缓， 在整个世界范围内，各地区的增长差异巨大， 战后时期，生产率和美国经济之间的关系。 国际竞争力，以及 国家公共基础设施的恶化 经济业绩。区域生产力分析 该项目的增长可能会提供重要的 对所有这些问题的深刻见解。 在这个项目中， 1951-1986年，9个地区各有21个行业 期间将进行评估。这一做法与以下趋势相似： 国家生产力研究走向分解。虽然 这种分解集中在较窄的行业细节上， 专注于区域增长可能会导致进一步的 收益.该项目的成果将使几个重要的 需要回答的问题： (1)某些地区的生产率增长是否比 其他人呢？ (2)生产率的下降仅限于少数人吗 还是更普遍？ (3)有没有证据表明区域生产力水平 正在汇聚 (4)生产率的地区差异是否与 产业特征，城市化程度，教育 公共基础设施的区域投资 资本和其他公共政策？
