We study aspects of economic growth in a region that is creative in the sense of Richard Florida. We model creativity by supposing that the region under study has two sectors. The first sector uses physical capital {K(t)} and trained workers {A(t)W(t)} to produce creative capital {R(t)}. The...

We analyze the impact that stochastically occurring innovations have on Schumpeterian economic growth in a region that is creative in the sense of Richard Florida. Our analysis leads to four findings. First, we delineate the so called balanced growth path (BGP) equilibrium and then compute the...

We study the effects of patent protection on economic growth in the ith region when this ith region is part of an aggregate economy of i=1,...,N regions. The regulatory authority in the ith region attempts to curtail the monopoly power of patent holding input producers by requiring them to...

We analyze the nature of research and development (R&D) that leads to Schumpeterian economic growth in a region that is creative in the sense of Richard Florida. The engine of economic growth in our creative region is process innovations that lead to quality improvements in the machines that are...

We theoretically study the impact of two innovation policies on economic growth in a region that is creative in the sense of Richard Florida and that uses digital technologies to produce a final consumption good. The use of these digital technologies in our creative region gives rise to...

We study the implications of the interaction between human capital and knowledge spillovers for one kind of semi-endogenous economic growth in a region. We focus on two cases. In the first (second) case, there is no growth (growth) in the stock of human capital but knowledge spillovers are...
