Despite the relevance of Richard Florida's ideas about the role of creative capital in promoting the creative economy of developing nations like India, there is no theoretical research on these topics in the extant literature. Therefore, we focus on an arbitrary region in a developing country...

We study innovation policy in a region in which the members of the creative class engage in Schumpeterian competition and thereby extend aspects of the recent analysis in Batabyal and Yoo (2017). Using the language of these researchers, the creative class is broadly composed of existing and...

We study the decision problem faced by a city authority (CA)who seeks to attractmembers of the creative class to his city by providing amenities. Creative class members careabout their own incomes and about the amenities that the city provides. We construct astylized model of this interaction...

In this note, we focus on the decision problem faced by a city authority (CA) who seeks to attract members of the creative class to her city by providing a local public good (LPG). We construct a stylized model of this interaction and shed light on three questions. First, we determine the...

We study decision-making by a regional authority (RA) that uses enterprise zones to attractmembers of the creative class---referred to as entrepreneurs---to its region. The enterprise zonesprovide a local public good (LPG) 𝐿 to entrepreneurs who become members. First, we computethe utility...

We analyze a stylized model of competition between two cities that use a local public good(LPG) to attract members of the creative class. The creative class consists of artists and engineersand we study the behavior of a representative artist and an engineer. The level of the LPG in eachcity is...

There are no theoretical studies in regional science that examine which region to locate in from the standpoint of a creative class member, given that the pertinent regional authorities (RAs) are competing among themselves to attract the creative class using subsidies. This gap provides the...
