Abstract

This paper describes and assesses the contribution to economic development

of higher education institutions in Atlantic Canada, the most economically

depressed region of Canada. It provides a brief overview of the economic circumstances

of the region and describes the relevant governance structure that influence

the effectiveness of the higher education institutions in facilitating and enhancing

economic development within Atlantic Canada. The avenues through which these

institutions affect development within the region are considered. In addition, five

examples of successes are profiled that may be helpful to other jurisdictions that are

concerned with tapping into the intellectual capital at their institutions to enhance

the economic development of their regions. Finally, this paper offers suggestions

about how the situation in Atlantic Canada might be improved further.
