In a region where household income is among the highest in the nation, black household income is among the lowest, according to the report.

The report is one of a series of reports resulting from workshops convened in 2003 and 2004 by the Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology Subcommittee. The primary aims were to enhance the effectiveness of the efforts already underway and to collect resources and experiential perspectives for those considering the launch of similar initiatives.

The Scoreboard brings together over 200 figures, many of which are new to this edition, to help examine emerging policy issues, including the international mobility of researchers and scientists, the increasing pace of innovation as measured by patenting, the growth of the information economy, the changing role of multinational enterprises, new patterns in trade competitiveness, and the emergence of key international players outside the OECD area, notably China.

The study looks at current trends in globalization, immigration, education and research. Findings indicate that while other nations are gaining strength in these areas, the U.S. is falling behind. Recommendations to achieve prosperity in the 21st century are outlined.

This paper begins by examining the persistence of movements in the U.S. Government’s budget posture. Deficits display considerable persistence, and debt levels (relative to GDP) even more so. The paper concludes with some reflections on “the Perverse Corollary of Stein’s Law”: that is, the view that in the presence of large government deficits nothing need be done because something will be done.

In this paper, the author presents an original approach to the determination of the equilibrium trajectory of some dynamic processes in socio-economic systems and the level of inequality for such structures. The mutually related algorithms allow new possibilities for a different point of view in the comparative analysis of internal dynamics for a large class of different structures.
