摘要:Our research aims at constructing a creativity composite index designed to capture the growing role of creativity in driving economic and social development for the 27 European Union countries,including Romania. The paper proposes a new approach for the measurement of EU-27 creative potential and for determining its capacity to attract and develop creative human capital. We apply a modified version of the 3T model developed by Richard Florida and Irene Tinagli for constructing a Euro-Creativity Index. The present research represents the first attempt to apply the 3T framework at the EU- 27 European level and in a dynamic manner,covering an extended period of time. The resulting indexes establish a quantitative base for policy makers,supporting their efforts to determine the contribution of creativity to economic development.
