We study innovation policy in a region in which the members of the creative class engage in Schumpeterian competition and thereby extend aspects of the recent analysis in Batabyal and Yoo (2017). Using the language of these researchers, the creative class is broadly composed of existing and...

We study the decision problem faced by a city authority (CA)who seeks to attractmembers of the creative class to his city by providing amenities. Creative class members careabout their own incomes and about the amenities that the city provides. We construct astylized model of this interaction...
