Belitski, M. and Desai, S. (2016) Creativity, entrepreneurship and economic development: city-level evidence on creativity spillover of entrepreneurship. Journal of Technology Transfer, 41 (6). pp. 1354-1376. ISSN 1573-7047 doi: 10.1007/s10961-015-9446-3

Abstract/Summary

We examine the black box of creativity, entrepreneurship and economic development by asking about the mechanisms through which creativity can influence economic development in cities. We propose that, like the knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship, creativity spillovers occur and can be slowed by a creativity filter. We examine how creativity and entrepreneurship, and creativity and a melting pot environment, interact to influence urban economic development. Using data on 187 cities in 15 European countries for the period 1999–2009, we advance the extant literature by providing evidence on the existence and dynamics of a creativity filter.
