“…The importance of diversity over several dimensions to economic performance both in consumption and production has been explored by social scientists, especially by economists (Anderson, 1985; Bairoch, 1988; Damaske 2009; Desrochers, 2001; Fujita et al, 1999; Glaeser et al, 2001; Jacobs, 1969; Morales, 2009; Quigley, 1998). Alesina and La Ferrara (2005) surveyed and assessed the literature on the positive and negative effects of ethnic diversity on economic policies and outcomes.…”

This article exploits differences in the Gay Index representing diversity and tolerance to estimate the effect of talent on economic performance in U.S. metropolitan areas, and proposes a theory of mechanism of talent distribution and its economic consequences. The index shows there were different degrees of tolerance in early years in different metropolitan areas, with different associated talent. Areas that had high tolerance in early years are more likely tolerant and diverse currently, and can attract more talent. Exploiting differences in the Gay Index as an instrument for current talent, this study estimates a large effect of talent on income per capita. Findings also suggest that other factors, such as high technology and amenities, do not affect regional development directly but do so indirectly by attracting talent. for their invaluable comments. I also wish to acknowledge the help of editor Karen A.Cerulo and four anonymous reviewers, whose comments, advice, and suggestions proved invaluable for the revision. 2 nSPARC,

Aggiomeration tendencies Despite numerous poiicy efforts to disperse new technology and innovative economie activities, it displays a persistent tendency toward aggiomeration and concentration (Maiecki, 1984). Given our current understanding of nonroutine economie activities, there appear to be sound reasons for this aggiomeration. The information-intensive nature of technological activities and the resultant need for face-to-face communication favor those places that offer (1) high leveis of competence; (2) many fields of academie and cultural activity; (3) excellent possibi1ities for internal external Communications; (4) widely shared pereeptions of unsatisfied needs; and (5) a general situation of structural instability faciiitating a synergistic development (Andersson, 1985). These conditions for "regional creativity" can be translated into more conventional poiicy variables, but in general, they focus on three main elements: (1) the presence of professional and technical labor (competence); (2) urban aggiomeration, or a threshold size of place, where cultural activity and communication will be heightened; and (3) conditions that promote synergy or instability. Oakey (1985) places even greater stress on aggiomeration economies as a necessary condition for regional high technology development; Rogers and Larsen (1984; concur. ,1

“…Pri kvantifikácii väzieb v rámci kreatívneho klastra sme implementovali analytický aparát teórie grafov. Množina subjektov, ktoré boli zahrnuté do výskumu a ich vzájomných relácií tvorí multidigraf, pričom respondované subjekty sú vrcholmi tohto grafu a identifikované väzby medzi subjektmi sú hranami grafu (Abas, -Híc, 2005). Na teórii grafov bola založená aj sieťová analýza, ktorá predstavuje analýzu matice vzťahov (v teórii grafov adjacentná matica), ktorá bola kvantitatívne vyhodnotená za pomoci softvéru UCINET 6 a vizualizovaná pomocou softvéru NetDraw.…”
