“…Agglomeration benefits from universities may be generated by infrastructure such as innovation parks (Rosenthal & Strange, 2020), as well as entrepreneurship from graduates (Kitagawa et al, 2022). In non‐urban areas, Kitagawa et al (2022) found that social sciences and humanities graduates are more likely to start businesses near their universities. It is not unreasonable, therefore, to presume that this could be a factor associated with creative microclustering.Hypothesis Creative clustering is likely to be positively associated with proximity to universities in urban areas and rural areas.…”

“…Despite this, there is evidence that universities can be a source of knowledge spillovers in urban as well as rural settings, although in the latter case the spillover effects may be more localized (Andersson et al, 2009).

“…The coefficient associated with the log of the distance to the nearest university is negative and statistically significant. This means that microclusters located closer to universities in rural regions exercise an attractive attraction pole that promotes the agglomeration of CIs and perhaps that staff/students at these institutions are active in business offering creative services, or perhaps that graduates of these universities are more likely to start businesses in proximity to these universities, following Kitagawa et al (2022). We explore this issue in more detail in the next subsection.…”

This study aims to compare the drivers of clustering of rural and urban creative industries in England, UK. We use pre‐pandemic web‐scraped data from 154,618 creative industry organisations in England, and use a novel technique to identify 71 distinct rural creative ‘microclusters’ of geographically proximate creative firms. We then consider the role of place‐based assets and agglomeration in the presence of microclusters at a micro‐level geography and find that the determinants of microclustering are generally consistent between rural and urban areas. On that basis we argue that policies to support creative clusters may drive rural regional development.

This literature review is devoted to the analysis of the existing empirical studies in areas related to Macro Talent Management and its research directions. The study presents a systematic literature review of 150 empirical papers in peer-reviewed journals for the period from 2011 to 2021. Macro Talent Management is a complex phenomenon that combines different interrelated processes at country and organization levels. Socio-economic and cultural macro factors have a significant impact on human capital mobility, which can be represented as talent attraction and retention processes and, therefore, as a component of Macro Talent Management. At the same time, human capital mobility itself influences the indicators of countries and regions’ development at macro level. At country level, talent development requires joint actions of state institutions and organizations, while Macro Talent Management system can affect the countries’ economic indicators. However, it can be concluded that the literature lacks a sufficiently detailed consideration of the implementation of Macro Talent Management system; the impact of characteristics of political regimes and cultural characteristics on formation of Macro Talent Management in different countries is not fully described, as well as the influence of Macro Talent Management on innovative development at macro level is studied generally. This review allows researchers to clarify issues related to the subject of Macro Talent Management and the existing gaps in the literature. As a result of the analysis, we identified several areas for further research. First, it is important to study the mechanisms of inter-level interaction in talent management both in terms of human capital mobility and talent development within a country. It is also necessary to study in detail the influence of political and cultural characteristics in countries as conditions for the implementation of these activities by agents. Finally, the impact of talent management on innovation development at macro level has been studied rather generally, without considering the impact of specific processes on innovation activity of particular countries.

“…There is the need, therefore, for a theory of graduate non-migration as much there is a need for a theory of graduate migration. Over the past 15 years, there has been an increasing amount of scholarly attention being paid to the interregional migration of UK graduates (Faggian et al, 2006;Hoare & Corver, 2010;Kidd et al, 2017;Kitagawa et al, 2021), but the field remains under-theorized since the extant literature relies almost entirely on the human capital theory (HCT) to explain locational choice. However, there is a growing consensus in the literature that HCT is seriously flawed on theoretical, empirical, methodological, and moral grounds (Kreps, 2018;Marginson, 2017;Tan, 2014).…”

Identity economics and the disadvantage effect on graduate retention in cities: using regression to analyse the intersection of gender, ethnicity, and geography

Graduate retention is key to the economic success of university cities, but non-migration often comes with costs to individuals in the form of forgoing the migration premium. There is increasing recognition that intersectionality – whereby people identify with more than one social category – means that (dis)advantage is a multidimensional concept. This paper explores the retention of 10,140 UK graduates from four universities in Greater Manchester for the 2017/18 year cohort. The main finding is compelling evidence for a disadvantage effect on the retention of local graduates, whereby markers of disadvantage predict retention when controlling for other variables and when considering the interaction of gender, ethnicity, and geography, an effect that is particularly strong for minority female graduates. Evidence is also presented for an advantage effect on the retention of non-locals, which is particularly strong for white graduates. This paper makes a theoretical contribution by using identity economics to explain that graduates who embody multidimensional markers of disadvantage may opt-out of the financially beneficial behaviour of migration based on identity-based utility. The method used for modelling intersectionality in this paper may prove useful to other researchers interested in analysing graduate retention patterns elsewhere in the world. These findings challenge the notion that graduate retention is an unalloyed good, suggesting that policymakers should consider that social (dis)advantage may be a main driver of retention figures in cities.
