Returning Prosperity to America’s Heartland

Later this week, I'll be sharing the stage with Zoltan Acs at an event -- Returning Prosperity to America’s Heartland -- at Northern Illinois University. I'm a big fan of Acs' work, but I have never had the opportunity to meet him. Few economists have as much useful insight on regional economies. You can see a list of his papers here:

I have also included the program for the conference.

Ed Morrison's Space

For some time now, I've been working on new, open innovation models for transforming our civic economy. We've got some complex transformations ahead, but we can develop remarkable collaborations by following some simple rules.

Here are some places where you can find my work. This blog outlines some early thinking on the application of open innovation and Strategic Doing to the challenge of transforming our civic economy.

Purdue Center for Regional Development

The Purdue Center for Regional Development has become the hot spot for this work. Learn more.

Purdue keeps track of trends in economic development on the EDPro Weblog. You can also browse through the PCRD blog. You can also connect with PCRD on our Facebook page.
