Chapter III: Analysing the creative economy
- Need for systematic analysis, consistent methodology, reliable statistics and qualitative indicators
- Organizational structure: predominance of SMEs and few large transnationals working internationally
- Economic analysis: value-chain analysis, IPRs, inter-industry and locational analysis, contract theory
- Important role : public and quasi-public institutions and individual artists and creative producers
- Distribution and competition issues
![Page 13: Edna dos Santos-Duisenberg (edna.dos.santos@unctad.org) - Thailand... · 2010. 7. 22. · • FTAA countries exported US$ 45.5 billion in 2005, about 14% world market, mainly from](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fdf5263c21a2d0f9a1b78ab/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Chapter IV: Towards an evidence-based assessment of the creative economy
- Reliable benchmark: international base using trade data - Operational model: universal comparative analysis to all countries - Practical measures: further research, minimal additional costs- Assessment tools: economic evaluation is partial, not exhaustive- Problematic : valuation of culture, technological changes and
boundaries between arts/culture and industry- Creative products : relative low value as materials, but real value
in intellectual property (blank CD case)- Trade in creative industries relatively invisible, shadows of IPRs

In developing countries a nuanced situation• Despite the abundance of creative
talents, most developing countries are not yet fully benefiting from the potential of their creative economies
• In Asia-Pacific and Middle-East the creative economy is growing fast with competitive products
• In Latin America and the Caribbean noticeableimprovements but need to reinforce creative capacities
• Africa very fragmented creative industries requiring financingand business support

Major findings- An evolving concept : no common definition of the
creative economy, nor a unique classification of the creative industries
- There is no one-fits-all recipe but flexible and strategic choices to be made by governments at national level
- The creative economy offer new venues for developing countries to leapfrog into high-growth areas of the world economy
- Need to reconcile national policy-making for the creative economy with on-going multilateral processes
