Analysis On Economic Effects Of Chinese Creative And Cultural Industries

In the late20th centry,with the economy of western developed countries goes into postindustrial age form end of industrialization, the problems like land, energy and environment are becoming main factors that prevent economic development, and contradiction between these resources and economic growth is more and more apparent. At this time, based on culture and creativity, the cultural and creative industry is arising to be a main power to push economy forward.And now, there has been a creative city web around the world, for example,London is famous for its drama industry, Tokyo gain its fame for animation industry, and New York is a paradise of film industry. All in all, the cultural and creative industry has become one of the most promising industries in21th century.By studying creative industry-related articles, this essay divides them into three main parts:the first ones are articles referring to definition and specific industries concluded in cultural and creative industry,the second ones are aiming at cultural and creative industry development forms,and the third ones are inspecting economic effects brought by cultural and creative industry. Though there are many articles related to cultural and creative industry’s economic effects,most of them focus on some certain places,and cities and in these articles the main study respective is cultural and creative industries themselves and the main indexes are usually output value and employment.Though these method and indexes are very useful in helping people to recognize contribution of creative industries, they ignored effects of the whole cultural and creative industries in a country to economy development.Therefor,this article takes the whole cultural and creative industries of China as study object,and then analyze its economic contribution form the following two perspectives:the first one is cultural and creative industries themselves.By describing and analyzing economic performance of specific cultural and creative industries, we can know the direct effects brought by cultural and creative industries development.The second perspective is from the whole national economy. By studying economic relations between cultural and creative industries and others parts of national economy,we can know its indirect effects.The main instruction of this article is as followed:the first part is summary.The second part is literature review. In this part,we viewed some Chinese and foreign cultural and creative industry related articles and give some simple comments. The third part is describing economic effects by indexes such as output value and employment from cultural and creative industries themselves.The fourth part is analyzing cultural and creative industries economic effects from the whole national perspective by output-input theory analysis with related indexes. The fifth part includes some main conclusions and provide some policy suggestions for further development of Chinese cultural and creative industries.By analyzing Chinese cultural and creative industries’s economic effects,three main conclusions are reached:First,the overall Chinese cultural and creative industries are now still in a primary stage,and its economic influence and induction degree are lower than national average level.Industries included in cultural and creative industry have a great difference in pushing economic growth;Second,cultural and creative industries are helpful to change Chinese economic structure from a labor intensive one to a knowledge intensive one,and it’s production and development depends mostly on industry(excluding some ones in cultural and creative industries),then depends secondly on service industries(excluding some ones in cultural and creative industries),and agricultural industry comes last.At the same time, all theses three kinds of industries have a lower dependence on cultural and creative industries; Third, among consumption,investment and export,consumption increase can push creative industries production most,therefore,expand consumption is the most important way to promote Chinese cultural and creative industries development.Two possible innovations:first,this article not only focuses on Chinese cultural and creative industries themselves but also focuses on its relations with other industries.The overall perspective maybe a innovation; Second, by analyzing how different final demand effects cultural and creative industries’ output,this article comes to the conclusion that expand consumption is an important way to promote Chinese cultural and creative industry.Two main shortcomings:first,for the short of the newest input-output data, this article chooses2002and2007ones to analyze cultural and creative industries’ economic effects, and as a supplement way, we use some newest output value and employment data to describe and analyze its economic effects. Second, because the input-output theory focuses mainly on economic and technologic relations between different industries by calculating the direct consumption coefficients and the indirect ones and so on,the economic effects may be decreased in this article for the fact that there are many products of creative industries are not used as intermediate products.
