    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.
