Auteur :

Description :
The article advances the hypothesis that talent is attracted by diversity, or what are referred to as low barriers to entry for human capital. It introduces a new measure of diversity. The findings confirm the hypothesis and shed light on both the factors associated with the economic geography of talent and its effect on regional development. In the USA, the economic geography of talent is highly concentrated and is strongly associated with high-technology industry location. It is also associated with the diversity index.
