Chapter Chapter 2 in The Economics of Talent, 2021, pp 9-19 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter offers an overview of the current research connected to the concept of talent as an umbrella term that has been used in a range of contexts and disciplines. It specifically explores connections between talent and a range of other concepts and understandings. Firstly, it presents the connection between talent and human capital. Then it reflects on its relationship with the concept of the creative economy, both from its industrial and occupation dimensions (creative industries and creative occupations) and from the perspective of its broader potential human resources (creative class and creative graduates). It also clarifies how the different concepts are used across the book chapters, from a more general view to a more specific focus on creative talent (talent within the creative economy). Finally, it touches upon the possible repercussions of Covid-19 on talent.
