本文以荷兰的一个城镇为样本，对理查德·佛罗里达的创造性资本理论和人力资本理论进行了比较研究。荷兰创造性人才的类别被设计成从事创造性和创新性职业，占荷兰劳动力总数的19%。荷兰城镇的就业增长可以从当地的教育水平和大量创造性阶层的存在来预测，但特别是后者。这主要是由于商业和金融服务业的就业增长以及新成立的公司。从理论上讲，创造力与人力资本并没有很大的区别。尽管如此，相比教育水平，佛罗里达的创意阶层是衡量人力资本的更好标准。
This paper examines Richard Florida's creative capital theory in comparison with the human capital theory, using a cross-section of Dutch cities and towns as the sample. A class of Dutch creative people has been devised with creative and innovative occupations containing 19 per cent of the total Dutch labour force. Employment growth in Dutch cities and towns can be predicted both from local education levels and from the presence of a large creative class, but especially from the latter. This is largely due to employment growth in commercial and financial services and to newly started companies. It is concluded that, in theory, creativity is not very different from human capital. Nevertheless, Florida's creative class is a better standard to measure human capital than are education levels.
