The UNCTAD Creative Economy Reports (CERs) are arguably the most influential policy-oriented texts on the global scope and potential of the creative economy. They contain arguments for greater policy attention to the creative economy worldwide and statistical data to illustrate their claims. These reports argue that the creative economy is an area of growth, not only in “developed”, but also in “developing” economies. The central argument of this article is that the way the country classification used in the CERs increases the share of “developing countries” in global creative goods exports in contrast to The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) classifications. When singling out China, the share of these countries decreases even further. According to The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), in 2010, 41 “developed” countries account for 51.18 per cent and 158 “developing” countries for 48.03 per cent of the global creative economy with 17 economies in transition accounting for 0.79 per cent. This obfuscates reality and obstructs the creation of evidence-based policies relevant to the creative industries. The classification of developed and developing countries is redrawn in accordance with building on data on the export of creative goods, provided by UNCTADstat. This article proposes that a more correct, balanced, and disaggregated outlook on the classification of countries is needed because one single “developing country” (China) is the single biggest exporter of creative goods in the world (25.51 per cent in 2010) yet the 49 “least developed countries” account for merely 0.11 per cent of creative goods exports (in 2010) while they comprise 880 million people (or some 12 per cent of the world's population). In conclusion, it is argued that different kinds of developing countries need different approaches and policies. Reference is made to Burkina Faso to illustrate this point. 相似文献

Investigation of a ship’s hydroelasticity and seakeeping performance by means of large-scale segmented self-propelling model sea trials 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The traditional laboratory models for the hydroelasticity and seakeeping performance of ships are tested in calm water and in uni-directional, artificially generated waves. A new alternative to the tank model measurement methodology is to conduct experiments using large-scale models in actual sea conditions. To implement the tests, a large-scale segmented self-propelling model and testing system were designed and assembled. A buoy wave meter was adopted to record the coastal waves that the model encountered during the tests. The analysis of the results of waves in sheltered waters by the spectral method shows good agreement with ISSC spectra. To investigate the difference between this new methodology and the traditional towing tank tests, a small-scale model, whose type and configuration are the same as those of the large-scale model ship, was used and tests were conducted in a towing tank. Comparison of the two experimental results shows that there is a remarkable difference in the response characteristics between the large-scale model at sea and the small-scale model in the tank. Numerical simulations of the responses of the ship under equivalent sea states were also carried out. The influence of directional spreading functions on the results was analyzed by a numerical approach. The classical model tests under long-crested waves in the towing tank over-estimate the motion and wave load responses; however, large-scale model tests carried out at sea are more reasonable for ship design and scientific research. 相似文献

This paper compares graduates of the formal vocational and technical education (VTE) system in Côte d'Ivoire with those of informal apprenticeships, in terms of access to jobs, earnings, and the internal rate of return to investment in education. The structure of the labor market is explicitly considered in the analysis and the selection process into each segment is modelled. It is found that formal and informal VTE are not substitutes but prepare people for different careers. Within the “optimal” career path, each type of VTE carries similar returns. Promotion of informal VTE could increase society's returns to educational expenditures and contribute to realizing the employment creation potential of the informal sector. 相似文献
