Abstract
This report describes the strategies that state policymakers can use, directly and indirectly, to influence innovation and improvement. It is unlikely that systematic productivity gains of the magnitude needed—and that are possible with widespread adoption of the types of strategies identified in Part I—can be achieved without deliberately designed and supportive state policy frameworks. Reorientation of public expenditures, of statutes and regulations, of accountability measures, and, in some instances, of governance structures may be required to raise productivity.
