Objective Metrics For Regional Economies

The Brookings Institution Metro Monitor provides leaders across metropolitan America with a set of objective metrics to guide their efforts in shaping advanced regional economies that work for all.
It tracks the economic performance of the nation’s 100 largest metropolitan areas along three dimensions:
growth,
prosperity
inclusion
This is posted as a follow-up to the 18 Jan 2018 Brookings Institution presentation: "The Rise of Mesa's Innovation District" that attracted a full-house at The Ikeda Theater.
See the results for the Phoenix MSA in the following details.. .
The three dimensions represent the pillars of successful economic development which should encourage robust long-run growth (growth) by improving the productivity of individuals and firms in order to raise local standards of living (prosperity) for all people (inclusion). Along each dimension, the Metro Monitor tracks three indicators, measuring the rate of change during the most recent
  • one-year
  • five-year
  • ten-year periods.
Finally, the results of this indicator analysis are compiled into composite scores, providing overall performance rankings of metropolitan areas for each category.
