Vplyv aglomeračných úspor na rast zamestnanosti v kreatívnych odvetviach na Slovensku
The Impact of Agglomeration Economies on Employment Growth in the Creative Industries in Slovakia

Summary/Abstract: The paper explores the impact of agglomeration economies on employment growth in the creative industries in Slovakia between 1998 and 2014. Using a spatial econometric model it has been confi rmed that related variety plays a signifi cant role in employment growth in creative industries, while signifi cance of unrelated variety has not been confi rmed. In other words, the districts specialising in diff erent, but at the same time cognitively and technologically related creative sectors, have achieved higher employment growth in comparison to those specialising either in one selected creative sector, or in unrelated sectors. Moreover, the results indicate that knowledge spillover eff ect in creative industries is confi gured more locally what emphasizes the importance of a local level in the process of knowledge creation and its spillover.
