BioSTL’s Bioscience Labor Market Analysis: some Good News and Good Insights

2 years 10 months ago

Please join EQ in welcoming our new columnist, Mike Frabrizi, who will be writing about economic complexity and the places we live. His first series of articles reviews the well-articulated and researched paper St. Louis Bioscience Labor Market Analysis (University of Missouri Exceed Extension, December 2021), and extends the good news story and suggest some means by which the former study can be built upon to help ensure that the St. Louis region continues to generate well-paying jobs and that per capita income growth continues. 

This week's series of articles builds extensively on economic complexity literature, that includes important publications such as The Atlas of Economic Complexity (Hausmann, Ricardo; Cesar A. Hidalgo, et al, 2013), Why Information Grows: The Evolution of Order, from Atoms to Economies (Hidalgo, Cesar and Allen Lane, 2015), The Building Blocks of Economic Complexity (Hidalgo, Cesar and Ricardo Haussmann, 2009), How and Why Should We Study Economic Complexity (Esteban Ortiz-Ospina and Diana Beltekian, 2018), The Observatory of Economic Complexity, Economic Complexity Theory and Applications (Hidalgo, Cesar, 2021, Nature).
