Abstract
This study conceptualizes and operationalizes state high‐technology capacity and demonstrates its potential usefulness in comparative state studies. The analysis is primarily concerned with identifying and recording the amount of high‐technology resources that are available in each state and that can be employed in public policy. Drawing upon a host of likely indicators of high‐technology availability, the study identifies five dimensions of the concept and ranks the states along these dimensions. The work then analyzes the relationships between the five components of high‐technology capacity and several state energy and environmental policies. Suggestions for future research are included at the end of the study.
