Creativity and AI skill demand in the post-ChatGPT labour market: Evidence from UK job vacancies
Drawing on over 182 million UK job postings from January 2017 to November 2025, we investigate how the association between demand for creativity and artificial intelligence (AI) skills evolves across UK occupational labour market areas following ChatGPT’s release. Our findings reveal a strengthened positive association between demand for these two skillsets post-ChatGPT, particularly in local labour market areas with a higher share of high-skille…
Mapping the state of the art of creative cluster research: A bibliometric and thematic analysis
The notion of creative clusters has become the focus of a growing number of policy initiatives aimed at revitalizing economies by means of creativity. However, despite their prominence in policy discourse, creative clusters are still a ‘fuzzy’ concept, defined and treated differently in different strands of research. To address these disparities, this paper presents a systematic literature review of creative cluster research (CCR), with the aim o…

We identify policy-relevant documents that cite retracted research, we review and categorize the nature of citations, and we…

Yet these studies typically focus on R&D-oriented innovation in ‘traditional’ technological sectors. Creative industr…
