Cluster mix: a region’s particular mix of lower and higher average wage clusters
Relative cluster wage: a region’s cluster wage relative to the average national wage in that cluster
The cluster mix and the cluster wage level effects add up to the total difference between a region’s average wage and the
national average wage. On average, the wage level effect is responsible for 76.3% of the total difference in state wages to the
national average.

Appendix:
Chart Descriptions, Interpretation, and Sources
36 NGA 2011 – Kansas Copyright © 2011 Professor Michael E. Porter
State Snapshot The snapshot chart summarizes the relative performance of a state on levels and trends in five key
measures. The circles in the chart indicate quintile of performance as shown in chart legend.
1. Prosperity: State GDP per capita and 10-year trend
2. Productivity: Average private wage and 10-year trend
3. Labor Mobilization: Total labor force as a share of civilian population and 10-year trend
4. Innovation: Utility patents per 10,000 workers and 10-year trend
5. Cluster Strength:
• A “strong cluster” is identified by relative employment rank in the top 20% across all states. A
state’s “cluster strength” is in turn the state’s total share of traded employment in these strong
clusters.
• A positive trend in cluster strength is indicated by a state’s increasing national cluster share
across these strong clusters.
Leading Clusters: A listing of the state’s strong clusters is included. A state may have more than five strong
clusters; the top five by employment size in the state are shown in this section.

Components of Regional Economies
Source: Cluster Mapping Project, Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness, Harvard Business School
A state’s or region’s economy can be divided into traded clusters, local clusters, and natural endowment
industries:
Traded clusters include those industries that compete across regions, and which tend to concentrate in
particular locations. Traded clusters are the engines of regional economic competitiveness. While they
account for only about a third of employment, they achieve the highest wages and productivity levels and
drive demand for localized businesses.
Local clusters involve activities serving almost exclusively the local market. Local clusters are present in
every region in roughly the same proportions. They employ the majority of people in any regional economy,
so their efficiency is critical for competitiveness in traded clusters. However, they cannot prosper over the
long run without success in the traded clusters.
Natural Endowment-dependent industries concentrate at natural resource sites. They account for a small
and declining share of national employment but can be relatively high wage.
The Cluster Mapping Project data presented in this report focuses primarily on traded clusters, though it
contains some information about other categories of industries. The performance of traded clusters holds
the key to present and future competitiveness.
38 NGA 2011 – Kansas Copyright © 2011 Professor Michael E. Porter
Employment by Traded Cluster
Source: Cluster Mapping Project, Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness, Harvard Business School
Within the broad category of traded clusters, a state’s economy can be divided into individual clusters.
Clusters are geographically proximate groups of interconnected companies and associated institutions in a
particular field, linked by commonalities and complementarities. Examples include automotive producers in
Michigan and Ohio, information technology in Silicon Valley, and money management in Boston.
The 41 traded clusters (and their 264 component subclusters) utilized in the Cluster Mapping Project were
developed using statistical analysis of the actual patterns of business location in the U.S. economy.
Clusters and subclusters are listed at the end of this appendix.
Interpretation:
This chart gives total employment in the state economy by each traded cluster.
Employment by cluster gives a more detailed profile of the activities in the state economy that make up the
job base. It can be used to understand the importance of the health of various groups or industries on the
overall prosperity of the region. z
Also shown on the chart are employment ranks for
each cluster versus those in the 50 U.S. states plus
D.C. Ranks above the region’s overall share of
national employment are an indication of cluster
specialization in the state and are highlighted on the
chart.
39 NGA 2011 – Kansas Copyright © 2011 Professor Michael E. Porter
Specialization by Traded Cluster
Source: Cluster Mapping Project, Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness, Harvard Business School
While other charts in this report focus on absolute employment and changes in employment, the
Specialization chart shows the region’s competitive position by traded cluster.
The size of each cluster “bubble” is proportional to the number of jobs in the region.
The location of each cluster bubble on the chart identifies a cluster’s relative performance in the US
economy:
• Clusters on the top half of the chart have local employment levels that are more than
proportionate to the region’s overall employment. These are clusters in which the region is
relatively specialized.
• Clusters on the right half of the chart are growing employment at a faster rate than the national
average for those clusters. These are clusters in which the region is gaining position in terms of
relative employment.
When present, a gray shaded area on the chart indicates that further detail is available on a second version
of the chart immediately following the current page.

The specialization by subcluster chart is interpreted similarly to the specialization chart for all traded clusters.
Additional insight on particular cluster strengths and trends in cluster composition can be observed.
Please note that only one or a few subcluster charts were included in this report. Specialization charts and
other data for all subclusters are available online at the Cluster Mapping Project reached from
www.isc.hbs.edu.

Job Creation by Traded Cluster
Source: Cluster Mapping Project, Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness, Harvard Business School
This chart shows the overall net change in traded jobs in the state over the period from 1998 to 2008 and the
net gain or loss by traded cluster. The clusters are arranged in order of net jobs created. The blue bars
provide benchmarks for job creation based upon rates of growth in the cluster throughout the U.S.
Interpretation:
This chart allows a state to identify its biggest job generators and job losers among traded clusters over the
last decade. A few clusters often account for a large majority of the overall employment gain. Clusters with
job losses are a cause for concern. It is helpful to compare job performance with the policy priorities a region
has set.
Comparison of job growth relative to the U.S. benchmarks provides insights into the strengths and
weaknesses in the region’s economy and shifts in the region’s competitive position. A region might not be
participating in a cluster which is surging nation-wide; or a region might be gaining market position in an
important cluster.
42 NGA 2011 – Kansas Copyright © 2011 Professor Michael E. Porter
Wages by Traded Cluster
Source: Cluster Mapping Project, Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness, Harvard Business School
The state’s clusters are listed in order by average wage. The yellow bars show the benchmark average
wage for the cluster nationally. The average wage across all traded clusters in the region is indicated by the
green dashed line.
Wages are a direct measure of a cluster’s productivity and competitiveness. Clusters that are exceptionally
productive (the value of output produced per unit of labor) can sustain higher wages.
Note: The wages for some clusters may not be reported due to data suppression in the underlying
government reports. When few employers in an industry are present in a given region, wage and precise
employment figures are omitted to protect the confidentiality of the data.
Benchmark lines provide a comparison to wages in the cluster across the U.S.
43 NGA 2011 – Kansas Copyright © 2011 Professor Michael E. Porter
Employment in Highest Wage Clusters
The ten highest wage traded clusters in the state are shown in decreasing order, with the width of the
columns proportional to the number of workers in each cluster. The area of each cluster is thus equivalent to
the overall wage sum the cluster generated in the state.
The chart displays how the average wage in the state’s traded clusters is built up by highest
wage clusters. Some high wage clusters may have a small impact on overall wage levels because of their
small size, the case in some high wage clusters. Some large, high wage clusters are often those in services.
The comparison to the U.S. average wages by cluster (on the previous chart) gives an initial benchmark to
evaluate the composition of average wages in the state economy. States can increase wages in two different
ways: (1) increase the employment in high wage clusters relative to low wage clusters and/or (2) increase
the state’s relative wages in given clusters. In practice, the second effect dominates as the explanation for
why state wages differ.

Cluster Portfolio
Source: Cluster Mapping Project, Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness, Harvard Business School
Cluster Linkages
Our research on clusters, in addition to deriving a model of 41 distinct traded clusters, provides a measure
for the the strength of the links between these traded clusters. The strength of these links is summarized
visually in the portfolio diagram below by the relative positioning and overlapping of cluster circles.
Location Quotient (LQ)
The Location Quotient is a ratio measure of the concentration of a cluster in a state relative to that state’s
average share of employment in the U.S. traded economy. So, LQ is a measure of a cluster's level of
concentration within a state, with an LQ > 1 indicating higher than average concentration in that state.
Interpretation
Using Location Quotient as the measure of cluster concentration in the state, we overlay the state’s cluster
portfolio on the model of cluster linkages with three color levels as below. The pattern of a state’s portfolio
relative to the cluster linkages will often indicate paths of opportunity for development in clusters.
45 NGA 2011 – Kansas Copyright © 2011 Professor Michael E. Porter
Top Subclusters by National Employment Share
Source: Cluster Mapping Project, Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness, Harvard Business School
This chart selects the sub-clusters in the region with the highest National Employment Shares. The
subclusters are grouped by cluster and ordered by subcluster National Employment Share.
Sub-clusters with a high share of national employment may form the basis for developing a competitive
position in a cluster. Strengths in a breadth of related sub-clusters are an indication of an established
position in a cluster.
46 NGA 2011 – Kansas Copyright © 2011 Professor Michael E. Porter
Patents by Organization
Source: Cluster Mapping Project, Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness, Harvard Business School
This table lists by organization the top patent recipients in the region for the most recent five-year
period. Patents are assigned to regions according to the inventor’s address of residence. In the case of
multiple inventors from different locations, the patent is assigned fractionally to each region. Universities and
research institutes are highlighted in blue and government agencies in green.
Interpretation:
Patenting is the best single measure of innovation output. States and regions with a healthy level of
innovation tend to have patents originating from a variety of corporations across a number of fields as well as
significant patenting from universities and research institutes. Concerns about innovative capacity arise
when the patenting rate is low, patents originate principally from a government agency, or patenting is
dominated by only a few large firms.
Defining the Appropriate Region Massachusetts in BEA Economic Areas
47 NGA 2011 – Kansas Copyright © 2011 Professor Michael E. Porter
A Note on Regions
The political boundaries of a state often encompass many distinct regional economies or portions of
larger regional economies. A comprehensive approach to economic development should reflect both the
distinct economies within a state as well as the often strong linkages to economies in neighboring states.
The map on the following page shows the intersection of the state with the Economic Areas defined by
the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA.) We find that the Economic Areas are a very meaningful unit of
geography for exploring the specialization and linkages in the U.S. economy. BEA's 179 economic areas
cover the entire U.S. and define the relevant regional markets surrounding metropolitan or micropolitan
statistical areas. They consist of one or more economic nodes - metropolitan or micropolitan statistical areas
that serve as regional centers of economic activity - and the surrounding counties that are economically
related to the nodes.
Please note that while this report has focused exclusively on the state, the website of the Cluster
Mapping Project reached from www.isc.hbs.edu provides similar data and analyses for all Economic Areas
(and Metropolitan Areas) in the U.S.
Note: There are 177 Economic Areas in the continental U.S. and one each for Alaska and Hawaii.
