Share of creative services exports over total services exports in the UK, average and change over the period 2011-17. Note: Statistics are elaborated using data from the Inquiry in International Trade in Services (ITIS) database. The share is given by the average ratio between creative services exports over total services exports in the UK over the period 2011-17.

Creative services have become an important, but understudied, part of global trade. This paper presents new evidence on the transformation, geography, and industrial relatedness of creative service exports in the UK, using the Inquiry in International Trade in Services (ITIS) database. Creative services exports have grown over the past decade, but...

Context 1
... on creative services exports, Figure 1 shows that over the period 2011-17 creative services exports accounted for about 30% of total UK services exports. Exports of advertising services, copyrighted creative works, telecommunication services and computer software have mostly driven creative services exports, accounting for around 5% of total services exports each. ...
Context 2
... can be explained by the fact that advertising services are generally used by consumer-oriented services to be better placed in the sales market (ECSIP Consortium, 2014). This is also in line with previous research that has highlighted co-location patterns and knowledge spillovers between advertising and these creative sectors in the UK (Chapain et al., 2010). Figure 5 shows the structure of the network of relatedness between UK manufacturing, creative and other service exports, using a large graph layout (LGL) algorithm identifying disconnected clusters in the data, and laying them out radially starting from a seed node, where for clarity the reported edges represent only relatedness linkages in top quartile of the distribution. ...

... In a similar vein, Lee (2020) found evidence that relatedness mattered for creative industries growth in the recovery period following the 2008/2009 financial crisis. More recently, Casadei et al. (2022) showed high levels of relatedness between some creative services and other creative, non-creative services and manufacturing industries in the UKinterpreted as a sign of the strength of production relationship in terms of knowledge, inputs, or complementarities. ...
Several studies have detected a positive relationship between the spatial dynamics of cultural and creative industries (CCIs) and their social and economic outcomes. In this article, we draw upon the Economic Complexity Index (ECI) as a proxy to capture the social interactive nature that characterises CCIs and the way this affects firm performance. Our assumption is that more complex locations, endowed with different types of more sophisticated production capabilities, allow CCI firms to perform more strongly. This can depend on the higher opportunities of complex knowledge sharing and cross-fertilisation processes among different types of CCI firms or with non-CCI firms. The focus is on Italy, a country with a long-standing historical tradition in culture and creativity. We draw upon an original panel database at firm and province level (for the period 2010–2016) to compute two different ECIs, one for the CCIs and another one for the rest of the economy. Moreover, we analyse the effects these two types of complexity on the performance of firms within sectors with different levels of cultural and commercial value. We find that economic complexity of CCIs but not economic complexity of the rest of the economy matters for CCI firm performance. However, the effect is relatively weak. The same finding applies to all CCI firms, irrespective of their type of sector. Policy implications and directions for future research are discussed.
