Mapping creative capabilities: skill composition and regional specialisation in the cultural and creative industries
首次利用揭示技能需求法评估文化创意产业的技能构成，识别关键技能并分析其空间分布，为区域政策制定提供基于地方能力的框架。
This study provides the first conceptual and empirical framework to evaluate the cultural and creative industries’ (CCIs) skill composition by utilising the revealed skill requirements method. First, it identifies the most important skills within and across the CCIs. Second, it maps their spatial distribution and links them to the stage-sensitive regional specialisation of the CCIs. Finally, it formalises a framework to assess the specialisation potential patterns. Moving beyond a generic treatment of the CCIs, this study develops a comprehensive, bottom-up approach to regional CCIs policy, focusing on place-specific capabilities and untapped potential of regions by comparing their skill endowments with observed CCIs’ specialisation patterns.
