AbstractRecent scholarship on metropolitan and regional development has highlighted the importance of two factors: entrepreneurship and skilled individuals. Using micro‐level establishment data on the creation of new firms, and an occupational measure of skilled individuals (the creative class), we examine whether a metropolitan environment conducive to creative employment is also conducive to entrepreneurship (which can be seen as a creative act). Taking past growth into consideration, and allowing for annual fixed effects to account for economic cycles as well as controlling for systematic location‐specific characteristics, we find that the larger the creative employment of a region, the higher the levels of entrepreneurship and regional growth. A region that has more new entrepreneurial firms open in the previous year is more likely to have higher growth in new entrepreneurial firms in the current year.Resumen.Los estudios más recientes sobre el desarrollo regional y metropolitano han puesto de manifiesto la importancia de dos factores: el espíritu emprendedor y las habilidades individuales. Utilizando datos de establecimiento a microescala sobre la creación de nuevas empresas y una medida ocupacional de individuos con habilidades (clase creativa), estudiamos si un ambiente metropolitano con potencial para la creación de empleo tiene también potencial para que aparezca el espíritu empresarial (que puede verse como un acto creativo). Tomando en cuenta el crecimiento en el pasado, y considerando los efectos fijos anuales con respecto a los ciclos económicos, así como controlando las características sistemáticas específicas de la localización, descubrimos que cuanto mayor sea el empleo creativo de una región, mayores serán los niveles de espíritu empresarial y crecimiento regional. Es más probable que una región que haya creado más empresas emprendedoras nuevas en el año anterior tenga un crecimiento mayor en empresas emprendedoras nuevas en el año actual.

AbstractInnovation underpins the industrial way of life. It is assumed implicitly both that it will continue to do so, and that it will produce solutions to the problems we face involving climate and resources. These assumptions underlie the thinking of many economists and the political leaders whom they influence. Such a view assumes that innovation in the future will be as productive as it has been in the recent past. To test whether this is likely to be so, we investigate the productivity of innovation in the United States using data from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The results suggest that the conventional optimistic view may be unwarranted. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
