This paper considers the potential for higher education institutions and the health care industry to be levers for a metropolitan area’s economic development. Can state and local public policies that invest in “eds and meds” increase the real economic well-being of a metro area’s residents? Are there specific activities of eds and meds that have a stronger regional economic payoff?
