The California Economic Strategy Panel

The California Regional Economies Project
The California Regional Economies Project (Project) offers new insight into the dynamics of California's economy. Through a regional perspective, we are able to better understand how the economy is changing, where the changes are concentrated, and what catalysts and conditions are causing those changes. We can also see how change in one region affects other regions and the state as a whole.
Learn about the project, and access Regional Profiles, Reports and Studies completed during the first phase of the project.
