Do large cities support small cities? • Demand • Clusters • Knowledge base • Efficiencies • Innovation • Larger private firms • Spill over to small cities
Do small cities support large cities? • Resources • Natural • Labor • Cheaper • Land • Capital • Labor • Innovation • Efficient • Support large cities

Growth/Wealth Creation $1 • Core -> Demand • Demand from areas outside your local economy. • Maximize Growth/value - Innovation & Resource exploitation • Multipliers • (minus) savings and leakages $.75 $.50 $.25 = $2.50
KS Multipliers • Commodities • Value added agriculture • Resource fitting Selected Industry Multipliers by Region – www.CEDBR.org
More Concentrated Earnings Relative Expansion Relative Contraction Less Concentrated
Typical Strategy • Anything alive and willing
Rethinking!! • What are your assets? • What are your costs? • CEDBR has a fiscal model • What are your needs? • Planning • Concentrated/diversified workforce – reduce risk/risk adverse • Labor/output – is there excess labor supply? • Natural resource (water, energy, farm…) • Capital resources • Human capital resources – (technical colleges and universities)
Comparative Advantage • Relative advantage • Relative cost of production • Labor, capital, fuel, and productivity • Relative delivered price • Expected growth • Declining sector, Long term potential, up and comer-high risk • Are you thinking only about your county? • Labor and resources go far beyond geo political boarders
