Center for the Study of Rural America
Yesterday, I listened to a very interesting presentation (1.2MB PDF) by Stephan Weiler of the Center for the Study of Rural America at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City while attending a conference on entrepreneurship sponsored by the Burton K. Wheeler Center for Public Policy. Weiler's research focuses on rural and dynamic micropolitan areas along the metrics of the breadth and depth of entrepreneurial economic activity. It seems to build very nicely on the work done by Erik Pages and his former colleagues at the National Commission on Entrepreneurship, who did a comprehensive survey of relative rates of entrepreneurial growth company formation across the U.S.
