On the performance of creative industries: Evidence from Mexican metropolitan areas

Abstract

This paper evaluates the performance of creative industries in 56 Mexican metropolitan areas over the period 1998−2013. Derived from Florida's 3T theory, determinants of inefficiency are examined by focusing on metropolitan area‐related variables. The analysis yields several interesting findings. First, there is a marked heterogeneity in performance, especially within the arts creative sector. Second, there is relatively little robust evidence that inefficiency can be reduced by increments in public investment (technology), “creative students” (talent) or cultural opportunity (tolerance). Thereby the role of local governments developing and implementing differentiated policy strategies could contribute to increase the efficiency of the creative sector.

Efficiency of Cultural and Creative Industries: A Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Guided Systematic Review of Data Envelopment Analysis Applications

“…[12; p.30] claim CCS are not new economic industries and have existed "since the early history of mankind". According to [13], the introduction and inception of the creative and cultural industries and sectors date back to the late 1990s, when the Creative Industries Task Force of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport established the CCS's first definition. Their definition included 13 subsectors as creative industries, including advertising, architecture, arts and crafts, designer fashion, broadcast media, film, games, music, performing arts, publishing and printing, software and computer service.…”

A Spatial–Temporal Analysis of Cultural and Creative Industries with Micro-Geographic Disaggregation

“…From a general perspective, the most knowledge-intensive activities tend to be located in areas with high economies of location, whereas more traditional activities tend to be distributed in a more disperse manner [29]. Nevertheless, insofar as creative activities imply the transformation of talent and the use of the innovative skills of workers and entrepreneurs, they demand constant social interaction as well as spatial interaction [30], which provides the advantage of economies of urbanization for these activities [14,31]. Here we also find the creative class thesis [32], which conjectures as to the concentration of the so-called creative classes in specific areas that provide the conditions for accumulation of talent, a tolerant environment, and access to technology.…”

Evolución y tendencias investigativas en marketing orientado a industrias culturales y creativas: un análisis bibliométrico en Scopus

“…De acuerdo con Cuadros, Valencia y Valencia (2012) y Benita (2018), las ideas y la creatividad se han vuelto imprescindibles para cualquier economía de mercado que quiera llevar el ritmo del mundo globalizado y cambiante, por lo que no es sorpresa que la creatividad y la innovación impulsen la economía del conocimiento que surgió en la segunda década del siglo XXI y la cual, según Boix-Domenech y Soler-Marco (2017), se espera que genere estabilidad en mayor proporción en el futuro. En este sentido, para hacer alusión a aquellas industrias que fortalecen significativamente esta economía, se habla de industrias culturales y creativas.…”

“…La presente bibliometría presenta la evolución y diferentes tendencias investigativas de todas las estrategias de marketing que se vuelven fundamentales para que estas industrias hagan entrega a los consumidores de ciertos productos que se detienen en elementos creativos, apuntándolos al mercado de consumo a través de la distribución masiva, en la cual las economías de escala juegan un papel de especial importancia. Estos productos, como lo menciona Benita (2018), contienen varias historias y estilos, y satisfacen las necesidades de entretenimiento y exhibición social. De la misma manera, según Lampel y Germain (2016), el marketing usado en este tipo de industrias se compone de estrategias para el intercambio de creación de valor entre las organizaciones y la sociedad mediante el uso de recursos complementarios.…”
