62. Creativity, Knowledge, and Institutions:A European Perspective on Florida’s The Rise of the Creative Class 20 Years Later

Author

Batabyal , Amitrajeet A, Nijkamp, Peter, Asheim, Bjørn T., Fritsch, Michael, Hansen, Høgni K., Isaksen, Arne, Batabyal , Amitrajeet A, Nijkamp, Peter, Asheim, Bjørn T., Fritsch, Michael, Hansen, Høgni K., and Isaksen, Arne

Abstract

Florida’s approach to urban and regional development focusing on innovation and the creative class spurred an awareness of how space and particularly soft locational characteristics are related to economic performance. In the light of two decades of theoretical discussions and empirical findings, this chapter reflects on three aspects of Florida’s creative class approach. First, the definition and measurement of the creative class, second, the role of contextual differences for the outcome of the relations that are argued in the approach, and third, a discussion of what has changed in the last 20 years since Florida launched his book and to what extent the arguments are valid today with a specific reference to Europe.

67. Can Leviathan City Governments Use Tax Policy to Attract the Creative Class?

Author

Subjects
*MUNICIPAL government, *CITIES & towns, *INTERNAL revenue, *STATISTICAL decision making, *INFORMAL sector, *FISCAL policy
Abstract

We focus on an aggregate economy of two nearby cities A and B and study whether it is possible for the leviathan governments in these two cities to use taxes τA and τB to attract members of the so-called creative class. The creative class population is fixed and members locate either in city A or B depending on the utility from such location. In this setting, we accomplish five tasks. First, given the two taxes, we determine the value of a metric ζ that describes how the creative class population partitions into cities A and B. Second, for a given partition of the creative class population, we state the budget constraints confronting the governments in cities A and B. Third, we state and solve the decision problems of the two governments when they act as independent leviathans and maximize tax revenue. Fourth, we ascertain the efficient taxes that maximize the sum of tax revenues in the aggregate economy. Finally, we discuss the implications of our analysis for tax policy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
