This book explores the role of the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) as drivers of local economic development. First, despite the general recognition that CCIs are innovative economic actors, their creative output is heterogeneous, as CCIs consist of extremely diverse industries, and the concept of innovation differs from sector to sector.
Roberto Dellisanti is Post-doc Fellow at Politecnico di Milano, Italy. He holds a Ph.D. from the same university, with a thesis on the territorial role of Cultural and Creative Industries as driver of local development. He earns both the Bachelor (2015) and the Master of Science (2018) in Economics from Bocconi University, Italy. His research interests range from the economics of culture and creativity to the local effects of Global Value Chains (GVCs) for the growth of regions. Currently, he is working on the update of the macroeconometric model (MASST) to forecast regional growth trajectories at its 5th version and on the territorial implications of GVCs for European regions.
