4.11f How does creative knowledge and creativity (R&D) move between publicly- and privately-funded culture and different sub-sectors (e.g. between theatre and film), and different scales (e.g. freelancers and SMEs). What are the measurable economic impacts, e.g. domestic revenue creation and exports? How can creative freelancers and microbusinesses be supported to invest in R&D?
Background
The department seeks research that will help to support cultural sectors and DCMS policies to optimise its contribution to building national prosperity. DCMS is keen to develop a more robust evidence base on the fundamental mechanisms and drivers by which the cultural sector generates and distributes wealth. The department’s interests in this area include the impact of public investments on local economic growth, understanding the spillover effects generated by investments in cultural infrastructure, understanding economic, social, and cultural value derived from R&D in the cultural sectors, and understanding the impact of theatrical touring on national and international economies.
