Popis:	For a number of decades, Appalachia has been a region that has lacked the growth and development that neighboring regions have experienced. Interestingly, in the past thirty years, as investment relocated during the Rust Belt-Sun Belt Transition, evidence of Appalachian integration into the national economy has begun to emerge. This inclusion, however, is generally confined to Northern and Southern Appalachia, and is not fully understood. To explore the nature of this integration, this paper uses geographic visualization and a two-way ANOVA on capital, labor, and technology measures. Results indicate that Appalachian counties continued to lag in these neoclassical factors of growth when compared to non-Appalachian, Rust Belt, or Sun Belt counties, though the Appalachian lag effect lessened over time.
