Policy Resources for a New Year
2011 marks a new year, with a newly elected Legislature. As part of our mission to raise new ideas and improve policy debates through quality information and analysis on issues shaping New Hampshire's future, the Center staff published several reports, including:
- State Spending: Resources for Policy Makers Part 1 and Part 2
- Steve Norton on WMUR-TV's NH's Business; Is New Hampshire ready for some of the challenges it will face in 2011?
- Steve Norton on NHPR's "The Exchange", Jan 4, 2011; Crunching the Numbers of the 2010 Census
- The importance of manufacturers to state’s economy; In December 2010 six New Hampshire manufacturers played host to state legislators in a series of plant tours organized by the Business and Industry Association of New Hampshire, including an economic overview from Dennis Delay, an economist with the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies.
- Our January 7, 2011 presentation to the JOINT HOUSE-SENATE ECONOMIC BRIEFING for WAYS AND MEANS and FINANCE.
Five charts that will shape New Hampshire in 2011
There are plenty of ways to think about how New Hampshire’s economy will fare in the coming year. To help provide some fodder for that discussion, the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies has gathered these five charts -- each of them a snapshot of where the state stands today, and an indication of what to keep an eye on in 2011. Here are the charts.
The Center's free and open exchange of opinions and commentary on the public policy issues facing New Hampshire. Our mission is to raise new ideas and improve public policy debates in our state through quality information and analysis.
