Creative service business and regional performance: evidence for the European regions

Creativity and local economic development: The role of synergy among different talents

“…As for creative industries, in most cases the whole production chain is taken into account (e.g. Howkins ; Santagata ; see Boix et al , on creating vs making and UNCTAD , on value‐chain analysis), but it is very hard to determine whether every segment of the craft industries really participates in the production of design intensive and high fashion output. Moreover, even people who do not perform creative tasks within a creative industry are eventually taken into account, while people performing creative tasks outside the creative industries are not (see also UNCTAD and Throsby , ).…”

In search of a Mediterranean creativity. Cultural and creative industries in Italy, Spain and Turkey

“…Power (2011) analyses the geographical distribution of CCIs in Europe at the NUTS2 level, focusing on the impact of this sector on growth and development. De-Miguel-Molina et al (2012) investigate the importance of the CCI cluster in explaining the wealth of European regions, while Boix et al (2013) study the creative service business in Europe and its interrelationships with regional performances.…”

Drones and the Creative Industry

“…Since most of the industries are shared between the most usual classifications (see Throsby 2008), differences resulting from the application of one classification or another can be moderate, and their importance depends on the objective of the research and the places to which they are applied (see Lazzeretti et al 2018). For example, Boix et al (2013) and Boix and Soler (2017) argue that manufacturing sectors usually classified as creative are basically engaged in making more than in creating, and their inclusion biases the results of the estimation of the impacts of the creative industries, so that they should be better focused as semi-creative industries (Boix 2012).…”

“…Another way is the use of econometric models, which have been used to assess the impact of the creative industries in the economy of a single country (Rausell et al 2011;Lee 2014) or in the regions of the EU (De-Miguel-Molina et al 2012;Marco et al 2014;Boix et al 2013;Boix and Soler 2017;Boix and Peiró 2017) (see Table 2).…”

“…Lee (2014) finds that in the UK travel-to-work areas, the creative industries are associated with positive differences in wages relative to other sectors of the economy, showing a relative effect of between 4.7% and 6.6% for each 100% increase of employment in the creative industries. Boix et al (2013) found that the relative effect of the creative industries on the differences in GDP per capita was between 39% and 44%. However, Boix and Soler (2017) observed that these high elasticities were due to the misspecification of the empirical models, and departing from a theoretically robust semi-endogenous growth model amended the results of previous research on European regions.…”
