Creative Industries – An Economic Miracle or Myth?

The last decade has seen the ‘creative industries’ assume prominence in government policy with anecdotal claims of the potential growth in this emerging knowledge based industry sector.

The lecture reviews the evidence of this phenomenon over the past thirty years and questions the endogenous growth associated with this sector.
