ABSTRACT:
A vigorous high-technology sector is vital to sustain U.S. prosperity in the
21st century. The new products, services, and business models that the high-
tech sector generates differentiate this nation's output from that of the rest
of the world and enable capital accumulation, wage gains, and productivity
growth. A high level of entrepreneurship, i.e., the founding of new businesses,
makes the high-tech sector vigorous. Immigration policy, as it affects highly
educated and highly experienced foreign-born individuals who might be drawn
into high-tech entrepreneurship, is an important element in a national policy
that promotes high-impact, high-tech company formation and growth.
