Unrewarded careers in the creative class: The strange case of bohemian graduates (2010, neutral): “Florida himself underlines that ‘there is good reason to believe that some occupations and specific types of skill play a relatively larger role in regional development’ (Florida et al. 2008, p.19) and proceeds in analysing ten sub-groups3 of the creative class separately.”
Entrepreneurship and economic development in cities (2015, methodology): “For instance, research center dummies follow the rich literature that examines the role of universities and research institutions related to economic development as they play a key role in producing creative and human capital (Florida et al. 2008).”
Regional systems of entrepreneurship: the nexus of human capital, knowledge and new firm formation (2013, methodology): “To begin with, regions that provide more amenities associated with the quality of life tend to have advantages in attracting talent (Florida, 2002c; 1 For a review, see Florida et al. (2008).”
Leverage and asset prices: An experiment (2012, positive): “…of research demonstrates that formal education provides an incomplete picture of the knowledge and skills possessed by workers (Florida, Mellander, Stolarick, and Ross, 2011; Abel and Gabe, 2011; Bacolod, Blum, and Strange, 2009; Florida, Mellander, and Stolarick, 2008; Ingram and Neumann, 2006).”
Creative industries, new business formation, and regional economic growth (2009, background): “Consistent with this assumption, in some studies (e.g., in Florida et al. 2008 ) universities are found to be significantly associated with the presence in the same territory of both highly skilled human capital and the creative class.”
The Creative Class and Economic Development (2014, methodology): “Our study “Inside the Black Box of Regional Development,” published in the Journal of Economic Geography in 2008 (Florida et al., 2008), used structural equation models and path analysis to examine the effects of educational versus occupational measures on regional income and wages and also to…”
Migrant and ethnic diversity, cities and innovation: Firm effects or city effects? (2015, background): “In a series of controversial but important studies, Richard Florida (2002, 2005; Florida et al., 2008) suggests that members of the ‘creative class’—an economically important group of workers working in creative, innovative occupations—would be attracted to cities with tolerant environments and dive”
An absorptive capacity theory of knowledge spillover entrepreneurship (2011, background): “For instance, it is not uncommon to see the adoption of education attainment as a proxy for human capital (e.g., Florida 2002; Florida et al. 2008; Rauch 1993), and the usage of new firm formation as a proxy for entrepreneurship (e.g., Acs and Armington 2006; Lee et al. 2004; Qian 2010; Qian and Li…”
Entrepreneurial ecosystems in cities: establishing the framework conditions (2016, neutral): “coffee shops, bars, theatres, museums, green areas, libraries, parks, clubs and other cultural places) will add to city’s attractiveness of cities as ecosystems (Florida et al. 2008).”
Productivity and the Density of Human Capital (2012, neutral): “Recent examples include Florida, Mellander, and Stolarick (2008); Bacolod, Blum, and Strange (2009, 2010); and Abel and Gabe (2011).”
