What is the dynamic value of the creative industries from the economic perspective? This paper seeks to answer this question by proposing four models of the relationship between the creative industries and the whole economy, then examining the evidence for each. The authors find that growth models fit the data well, but not everywhere. They discuss the methodological and empirical basis for this finding and its implications for economic and cultural policy.
