These are the posts you decided were most worth your time<\/p><\/div>\n

Before you prepare to pack up and check out for the weekend, we’ve rounded up the top five posts that caught your collective eye.\u00a0 From obscure urbanization studies to electricity deregulation and women entrepreneurs, our Essential StateImpact posts make for a particularly motley crew this week.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Why Urban States Are More Productive Than Rural Ones (And New England\u2019s A Case In\u00a0Point)<\/a>: Credit Suisse put out a niche report looking at the effect of urbanization on emerging markets.\u00a0 What got it buzz in the American business press, though, was a graph linking US states’ productivity to urbanization.\u00a0 Besides just being a cool graph, it’s a great illustration of the northern\/southern New England divide.\u00a0 We delve into the data and explain the Credit Suisse findings.<\/li>\n
  2. WiValley Battles Topography And Budgets To Connect Monadnocks<\/a>: Swaths of New Hampshire are struggling with slow internet speeds in a high-speed innovation economy.\u00a0 For one guy, a frustrating telecommute morphed into an enterprise to bring broadband to the Monadnock Region.\u00a0 And he’s just one of several small operations hoping to bridge the so-called “last mile” of service.<\/li>\n
  3. Dartmouth College President Will Head World\u00a0Bank<\/a>: Dartmouth President Jim Yong Kim is moving on to the World Bank, and he faces growing clout from emerging markets.<\/li>\n
  4. What A Small Firm\u2019s Challenge To PSNH Could Mean For The Future Of The Electricity Market<\/a>:\u00a0 NHPR recently covered this issue, which also ties into the on-going debate about partial-vs-total deregulation of the state’s electricity market (aka: the PSNH divestiture debate).<\/li>\n
  5. How\u2013And Why\u2013NH Resurrected A Help Center For Women Entrepreneurs<\/a>: About a year-and-a-half after the Women’s Business Center closed due to declining membership, a new Center for Women’s Advancement opened its doors.\u00a0 We explain why, despite the old WBC’s troubles, supporters of the new center say there’s a need for this kind of enterprise.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
