Is it really tolerance? Expanding the knowledge about diversity for the creative class

Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
This study analyses the complex relationship between tolerance and economic growth in Sweden. To solve this issue a variety of measures are introduced and underlying effects of other variables are tested for. Surprisingly, the only measure significant in the model is the bohemian measure. On the one hand, this renders support for the creative capital theory and suggests that attracting bohemian employees can gain economic growth. On the other hand, it problematises the tolerance concept and indicates that tolerance is hard to grasp and add to economic models.
