In this study, the objective is to investigate trends of the economic impact of high-tech industries over time, thereby addressing the variations in high-tech impact. Through an analysis of extensive time series regional economic data on U.S. metropolitan regions, the results show that high-tech industries began to influence regional economic performance at the turn of the millennium, escalating in importance before a decline. The study provides explanations and has implications for theory, policy, and strategic management.
