Moscow’s Creative Economy in Figures

Abstract

This report presented by the Institute for Statistical Studies and Economics of Knowledge of the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE ISSEK) is dedicated to the statistical measurement of the creative economy of Moscow. This publication gives a first ever classification of Moscow’s creative industries – sectors of the economy where the major part of gross value added is generated out of creative activity and intellectual property rights management, and provides a description of approaches to calculating key indicators of their economic and territorial development. Original assessments of creative employment and foreign trade of creative goods on the basis of official data sources, as well as infographic profiles of selected creative industries, are provided. The report will be of practical interest to representatives of public authorities, managers and employees of companies, educational institutions, research institutes, experts and all involved in the creative economy agenda.

Creative reindustrialization: Data base as a digital footprint for second-tier cities of the Urals and Siberia

“…Other databases of the creative industries can be analyzed in addition to the atlas prepared by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI), which primarily focuses on large and major cities in the country [11]. This gap can be filled by the atlas prepared by experts from the Higher School of Economics, which provides a snapshot of data on creative industries for a single year [12]. A point of interest pertains to the creative potential index devised by «Trust Technologies» at the behest of VEB RF, in addition to the «Political Space of Industrial Cities of the Urals» database [13], containing geographical, socio-economic, political, sociocultural, and other attributes of industrial cities, affording opportunities for numerical inquiry.…”
