THE GEORGIA FORECAST TM and Three Imperatives for Economic Growth

Abstract

Research reveals three imperatives for the growth of national
economies: education, health, and technology. Growth requires a well
educated population to do the nation’s work. Workers must be in good
health in order to be productive. But even well educated and healthy
workers need technology in order to leverage their efforts. While these
three imperatives are common conditions for growth, rational government
policies are required for these factors to function. A new set
of forecasting models, THE GEORGIA FORECAST^TM, indicate that near and
long-term prospects for Georgia’s growth are bright. These
prospective outcomes may be enhanced by rational, economically efficient
and equitable adjustments in policy.
