Cutural-Creative Industries' Influence On National Economic Development And Empirical Research

At present, Cultural-creative industries are in a period of the fastest development in China. However, compared with the booming industrial practice, the theoretical research on cultural-creative industries at home and abroad is lagging behind. At this stage, people's understanding of cultural -creative industries is also not clear enough, the existing research is too concerned about the description of the phenomenon of cultural-creative industries, to focus on its economic attributes, leading to the exploration about the intrinsic mechanism of cultural-creative industries affect the national economy very rare.From the socio-economic development process, cultural-creative industry is an emerging industry patterns, it has gone beyond the traditional scope of material economy, but belong to the non-material spiritual economy. The spiritual economy that lies in the spiritual products'production and consumption reflects the economic attributes of cultural-creative industries. Cultural-creative industries are the industrial practice in accordance with the arrival of the spiritual economy stage. From this perspective, the paper has defined the connotation and extension of cultural-creative industries. The cultural-creative industries'core is spiritual products, spiritual products'attributes determines cultural-creative industries have bidirectional characteristics of innovation and culture, increasing returns to scale, high-permeability, external economy, high value-added, etc., which makes the cultural-creative industry impact on the national economy more complex and more important. Cultural-creative industries'development lies not only in its own data of the statistics, but also because of cultural-creative industries avail the entire economic structure changes, upgrading of traditional industries, as well as improving the quality of economic growth.. Therefore, this paper has made the theoretical and empirical analysis for the contribution of cultural-creative industries from the economic structure, industry associations and economic growth.Changes in economic structure generally show the industrial structure adjustment, while the cultural-creative industries have an important impact on the industrial structure. To illustrate this point, we apply grey correlation methods to do the empirical analysis between the cultural-creative industries and traditional three industries, results show that the development of cultural-creative industries can contribute to high-class industrial structure. In addition, as a new industry category, cultural-creative industries in the whole industrial system have a very special position, which are cross-integration with traditional three industries,cultural-creative industries classified as tertiary industry obscures the nature of them. Thus, according to industrial convergence'characteristics, this paper has established a cultural-creative industries-oriented industrial structure system, which restructure the traditional industrial structure, highlighting the cultural-creative industries an important role. And industrial structure factors have also proved that cultural-creative industries are pioneering.In the case of industrial convergence, this paper uses the input-output method to quantitatively analyzing the industrial association and ripple effect of our country's cultural-creative industries. The results show that the cultural-creative industries have close input-output relationship with many sectors, especially with the high-technology manufacturing and knowledge-intensive service industries. According to situation of the middle demand and the middle input of cultural-creative industries, we can conclude that our country's cultural-creative industries not only have a strong permeability to the downstream industries, but also have a greater capacity to promote the upstream industries. Meanwhile, the reverse ripple effect and forward ripple effects of our country's cultural-creative industries is more significant, so that the cultural-creative industries have the conditions to be fostered as the leading industry or the pillar industry. In addition to promoting the other industries'development, the more important feature of cultural-creative industries is value creation function, which can increase the added value of traditional industries and promote the upgrading of traditional industries.In the case of economic growth, this paper first analyzes the impact mechanism of cultural-creative industries for economic growth, then, uses the multi-dimensional perspective to advance a direct influence path and three indirect paths of cultural-creative industries impact on economic growth, they are human capital situation, technological innovation ability and cultural values. At last, this paper uses PLS path analysis to verify the proposed conceptual model, the results show that cultural-creative industries'contribution to economic growth mainly reflected in its indirect effect. It deeply reveals that cultural-creative industries play a potential role on economic growth.To further illustrate the actual contribution of cultural-creative industries to economic growth, this paper uses China's time-series data and provincial-scale cross-sectional data to do an empirical explanation from dynamic and static state. Empirical results show that the cultural -industries have respectively long-term equilibrium relationships with per capita GDP and total factor productivity. Granger causality test shows that there are unidirectional causalities of cultural -creative industries respectively to per capita GDP and TFP in the short term. The vector autoregressive models of cultural-creative industries and economic growth also verify the results of co-integration analysis. All of these show that the cultural-creative industries have a relatively large dynamic influence to economic growth and the influence is sustaining. Therefore in the formulation of industrial policy, we should focus on long-term effects of cultural-creative industries. In the static study of the relationship between cultural-creative industries and economic growth, this paper first evaluates the provincial-scale cultural-creative industries'development status synthetically by using the factor analysis, and builds a cultural-creative index as the indicators of reflecting the development of cultural-creative industries. On this basis, this paper using correlation analysis and regression analysis to do empirical study on the relationship between regional cultural-creative index and regional economic growth. The result indicates that there is a significant positive correlation between regional cultural-creative industries development and regional economic growth, and the contribution of regional cultural-creative industries to the regional economic growth is very obvious. It illustrates that cultural-creative industries drive the regional economic development powerfully.On the basis of above-mentioned studies, this paper proposes a number of targeted policies by raising the cultural-creative industries to promote Chinese economic development, including foster the production factors of cultural-creative industries, strengthen industrial interaction and play its exter-effect, and so on.
