Building a Creative Economy is one of main agendas for the new administration to revitalize the economy.   The “Creative Economy” roughly means an innovative economy that combines technologies across fields with a view to raising growth potential and generating quality jobs. However, technology alone is obviously not sufficient and the creative economy agenda encompasses a broader range of other reform issues. Though the idea is still evolving and the action plan is yet to be detailed, reforms are under way.\nKorea’s average economic growth rate during the last five years dropped to 3.0% from that of 5.5% in the first half of the 2000s, while the average employment growth rate declined to 1.0% from 1.6% in the same time period.  The corresponding job creation rate declined from about 34% in 2001 to 19% in 2012, according to census of establishments.  The current rate is roughly at a par with the US rate from 1975 to 2005. The young men’s employment rate now is lower not only than the 1999 rate when the effect of the crisis peaked  but also than the current rates in European OECD countries such as France, Germany, and UK.  Further the current ratio of firms with subsidized funding has significantly increased compared with a decade ago, suppressing business dynamics.  R&D spending is among the highest in the world but it effectiveness has not improved so far.\nIn this conference, we hope to discuss ways for invigorating the economy, especially on aspects that are missed or overlooked in the existing policy framework. Papers on a broad range of topics are welcomed. This year’s conference is a starting-up conference at our new location within the special administration district.\nTime and Date: 8 August 2014, Friday, 9:00-17:00\nVenue: Conference Hall, Korea Development Institute, 15, Giljae-gil, Sejong Special District\n
