本文试图对瑞典文化产业进行界定和测度。它首先讨论了“文化产业”一词的定义和界定，认为大量的商品和服务可以被视为文化产业产品，重要的是要把这些产品的生产和交换的背景下，一个工业系统的方法。然后，利用瑞典关于就业和公司活动的数据，将这一概念付诸实施。结果表明，文化产业的就业和企业数量的总体增长尤其强劲。然而，这些行业活跃企业的数量增长速度远远快于就业速度，表明商业环境正在迅速变化。在区域方面，瑞典文化产业对城市地区有很强的吸引力，但更倾向于聚集。有人建议，观察到的空间动态可能是关键的产业的能力和成功的发展。总之，本文介绍了广泛的数据分析的结果，发现文化产业对瑞典经济和劳动力市场做出了重要贡献。最后，它提出了需要进一步定量和定性研究的问题。
Abstract This article attempts to define and measure cultural industries in Sweden. It starts with a discussion of the definition and delineation of the term “cultural industries,” arguing that a large range of goods and services can be considered culture industry products and that it is important to place the production and exchange of such products in the context of an industrial systems approach. The concept is then operationalized using Swedish data on employment and the activity of firms. The results suggest that the overall growth in both employment and the number of firms has been especially strong in the cultural industries. However, the number of active firms has been growing at a much faster pace than employment in these industries, indicating a quickly changing business environment. With regard to regional dimensions, Swedish cultural industries have a strong attraction to urban areas but an even stronger propensity to agglomerate. It is suggested that the spatial dynamics observed may be key to the development of the industries’ competencies and success. In summary, the article presents the results of an extensive data analysis that found that cultural industries make an important contribution to the Swedish economy and labor market. It concludes by suggesting issues that need further quantitative and qualitative study.
