New growth theory argues that, in advanced economies, economic growth stems less from the acquisition of additional capital and more from innovation and new ideas. On May 10, the Brookings Institution and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) hosted a symposium examining new growth theory as a tool for assessing the impact of art and culture on the U.S. economy, including the theory that cities play a major role in facilitating economic growth. The symposium featured papers jointly commissioned by the NEA Office of Research and Analysis and Michael Rushton, the co-editor of the Journal of Cultural Economics. The presentations were moderated by experts from Brookings, the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Commerce.

About AngelouEconomics
AngelouEconomics works with numerous professional and business associations in building dozens of unique economic impact studies among other types of projects including site selection projects as well as strategic economic development projects. Some projects examine the effects of statewide policy measures, such as the Texas Bathroom Bill or ban on Sanctuary Cities. Other projects measure the contribution of member networks in terms of jobs, wages, and total economic output like this study for Prospera, a nonprofit organization specializing in providing bilingual assistance to Hispanic entrepreneurs in Florida. Economic impact studies are effective tools for quantifying and illustrating the value of individual professional and business associations. They are versatile, as they can illustrate the value or impact of a specific policy or quantify the economic contribution of your members to the local, regional, and nationwide economies. We also know entrepreneurship inside-out. We achieved our own entrepreneurial success by forming the International Accelerator (IA). Our program attracts over 1,500 applicants from around the world and selects 10-12 startups each year to fund and accelerate their growth in the US market.
