ABSTRACT: This paper divides the creative class into cultural and technological
creative class. After calculating the development trend of these two types of
creative class agglomeration scale in 30 regions of China from 2009 to 2017,
this paper uses fixed effect model to empirically analyze the impact of creative
class agglomeration scale on the regional economy, and finally puts forward
corresponding countermeasures. The results show that: first, on the one hand,
from the perspective of evolution, the agglomeration scale of cultural and
creative class in 14 regions has not changed, while the other 16 regions shows
a development trend of first rising and then falling to the original level, and
the agglomeration scale of technological and creative class in most regions has
not changed; on the other hand, from the perspective of space, the
agglomeration scale of cultural and technological creative class in most
regions is always at a medium or low level, and in eastern region is relatively
high while that in most western regions is relatively low. Secondly, the agglomeration
of cultural and technological creative class has a significant positive impact
on regional economic growth, while the latter has a greater impact, but it is
not statistically significant.
