'''Important Notice: The last update to the hubs data was done manually by Ed and is in E:\projects\MeasuringHGHTEcosystems\HubsData-RevisedSimplified.xlsx'''
The Hubs Research Project is a full-length academic paper analyzing the effectiveness of "hubs", a component of the entrepreneurship ecosystem, in the advancement and growth of entrepreneurial success in a metropolitan area. It focuses on cities in the United States as the primary unit of analysis.
Raw Data is in:
Z:\HubsVentureCapitalData\2017SDCVCData\clean datavcdb2 The file name is new_vc_dataroundleveloutput2.txt
It contains:
*numalive

==Final Joined Data set ==
*nih_valuegrant - Value of NIH grants
*noctrials - NUmber of clinical trials

'''Summer 2016''' - Last year a master list of 125 "potential" hubs was used. A scorecard was developed which filtered these 125 candidate hubs to determine which of these should be included in the study sample. This method resulted in a sample size of ~ 30. The master list and the final hubs list is titled '''Hubs Data v2_'16'''. It is located here:
Z:\Hubs\2017\hubs_data
'''Summer 2017''' - In order to obtain a more statistically significant sample of hubs, we developed 5 criteria which produce a more relaxed definition of hubs than last year. These include
*Availability of co-working space
*Coding classes or tech events
*Some focus on the tech sector (this is important as our dependent variable is VC funding)
*Presence of an accelerator
*Availability of mentorship for members.
We will review the 125 candidate hubs and select those which satisfy a subset or all of these characteristics.
