1. A full exposition of the National Innovative Capacity Framework as well as a full reference list of our prior research in this area is included in S. Stern, M.E. Porter and J.L. Furman, "The Determinants of National Innovative Capacity," working paper 7876 (Cambridge, Massachusetts, National Bureau of Economic Research, 2000). This framework synthesizes and extends three areas of prior theory: ideas-driven endogenous growth, described in P. Romer, "Endogenous Technological Change," Journal of Political Economy 98: S71-S102; cluster-based national industrial competitive advantage, described in M. Porter, "The Competitive Advantage of Nations" (New York: Free Press, 1990); and national innovation systems, described in "National Innovation Systems: A Comparative Analysis," ed. R.R. Nelson (New York: Oxford University Press, 1993).

5. The Cluster Mapping Project, based at the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness at the Harvard Business School, has charted striking differences in the patterns of innovation across the United States' economic areas.
6. The "diamond" framework, introduced in M. Porter, "The Competitive Advantage of Nations," has been used extensively to understand the foundations of global competitive advantage. The national innovative capacity framework emphasizes the linkage between industrial clusters and innovation.
