“…In addition, geographers emphasized "region-specific" or "competitiveness" effects on economic resilience [26]. In this vein of research, literature emphasized the role of place-bound, invisible factors in shaping local economic resilience, such as social values [27], innovation [28], creative small-and-medium sized enterprises (SMEs) [29], entrepreneurship [30,31], as well as the variety of local economic cultures [32]. A recent study identified there exists an inverted U-shaped relationship between local economic embeddedness and resilience [33].…”

This study explores the structural effect of economic resilience with a case of China by examining the extent to which the major economic sectors contribute to the relative resilience of China’s overall economy. By applying a time series analysis, we use the Hodrick–Prescott filter to delineate China’s national economy on a quarterly basis and reveal different performances in responding to two recent economic crises in 1997 and 2008. Using quarterly data pertaining to eight economic sectors (including agriculture, industry, and major service sectors) and the national GDP from 1993Q1 to 2017Q2, we examine their effects on China’s economic resilience by simulating the responses of the national economy to a unit shock from each sector. Results show that the construction, real estate, and financial services have the greatest potential to “disturb” the national economy whereas the industrial sector has the greatest potential to “stabilize” it. The findings correspond with the understanding that extensive infrastructure development and the real estate boom have driven China’s rapid urban development and created economic prosperity, whereas the sectoral decomposition of economic resilience compels a critical reflection on the risks of this growth model.

“…However, the support for the creative economy is mis-focused as it is patently not a normative economic object (the economy); it has a particular compositional (see above) and operational character. The operation of the creative economy is in part generated by its specific organisational structure; a bifurcated form with a few very large firms, and a vast majority not simply small firms, but comprised of micro-enterprises and the self-employed (Andres and Round 2015). Moreover, the enterprises are not of the familiar type; they are best described as serial project-based enterprises (Grabher 2002).…”

The aim of this paper has been to address the apparent paradox that culture has been the high profile victim of funding cuts in the period of austerity; at the same time culture has prospered. Is culture then the 'poster child for resilience'? The paper seeks to de-couple the notion from neo-liberalism and austerity. It counters with an argument that resilience as a concept is relational, it does not have a unitary meaning and its forms will change depending on context (that is the cultural field, and the field of governance). Hence, the strange survival of culture is explained not by austerity, but by the dynamism of the cultural field. However, this disjunction between governance and culture also carried a number of risks and problems.

“…The UK's long-running focus on the role of the creative industries in ensuring national, regional and local competitiveness is at this point well-examined (Andres and Round 2015;Cunningham 2002). Schlesinger (2013: 29) notes that 'creativity' is often understood as a synonym for "dynamism, growth, talent formation and national renewal", and that its influence in economic, social and cultural life of the UK shows no sign of abating.…”

Illuminating the practice of Knowledge Exchange as a ‘pathway to impact’ within an Arts and Humanities Research Council ‘Creative Economy Knowledge Exchange’ project

This article is concerned with the practice of Knowledge Exchange (KE) within the creative economy. Drawing on material collected as part of an ethnographic study of a small creative business support agency-Cultural Enterprise Office-based in Glasgow, Scotland, the article argues for a nuanced consideration of the complexities of doing KE in the creative economy. The study in question was titled 'Supporting Creative Business' and was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council under its Creative Economy Knowledge Exchange programme. This article describes the practice of KE, and the role that it might play as a 'pathway to impact'. I explore the often-mundane activities that constitute KE 'on the ground', and argue for further attention to be paid to what I call 'informal KE'. This article contributes directly to ongoing debates in geography about the effect that the impact agenda is having on academic practice. More specifically, the article examines the role of academics vis-à-vis consultants and other knowledge producers within the creative economy.
