| Research Abstract |
Creativity and creative industries are becoming important for urban economy since 1990s. Creative industries are collaboration between creative activities and humdrum or ordinary partners (R.E. Caves, 2000). In Japan, contents industries are more familiar than creative industries. These two categories are overlapping each other.
The report on the global strategy for contents industries which was written by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in Japan points out that Japanese contents industries are losing their market share in the world. One of the reasons is that the amount of import of contents industries is higher than the amount of export of those industries in Japan. Therefore it is necessary to develop a global strategy to expand this market in the world. Beside the main focus of this report is the industrial side of creative industries.
However, creative industries are a collaboration between creative activity and business (humdrum partners). Hence, it is necessary to examine how these two, a creative activity and an ordinary partner are combined by informal contracts. Incentives, contracts and industrial organizations are important perspectives to analyze creative industries.
In this research, I compared the incentives for creativity in several creative industries between Western Europe and Japan, focusing on distribution of intellectual property and other factors. I explored how incentive structure is influenced by industrial organizations. I also examined the potential rule of policy integration among culture, industry and space for creative dusters. Through this research, I have noticed the importance of tax incentives for arts and culture and did some joint research concerning the international comparison of tax incentives including charitable giving.
