title = "Skills and Creativity in a Cross-section of Dutch Cities",
abstract = " In this paper we examine Richard Florida{\textquoteright}s Creative Capital theory in comparison with Human Capital theory, using a cross section of Dutch cities as our sample. Employment growth in Dutch cities can be predicted both from local education levels and from the presence of a large creative class, but especially from the latter. We conclude that in theory creativity is not very different from human capital. Nevertheless Florida{\textquoteright}s creative class is a better standard to measure human capital then education is.",
