| Abstract: | This paper looks at the degree to which spatial inequalities reinforce other forms of social inequality in cultural labour markets. It does so using the example of London, an acknowledged hub for the creative and cultural industries (CCIs). Using pooled data from 2013 - 2015 quarters of the UK Labour Force Survey we consider the social make-up of London’s cultural labour force, and reveal the extent to which, rather than acting as an ‘engine room’ of social mobility, London’s dominance in fact re-enforces social class disparities in cultural employment. |

| Abstract: | There is a growing literature linking fertility and development. In certain contexts, fertility may become an important mechanism to enhance intergenerational propagation of socioeconomic inequalities. In this paper, we sought to explore the evidence provided by Ferrara, Chong, and Duryea (2012) that soap operas had a significant impact on women’s fertility and used the variation of the time of the entry of the Globo Network in different areas to test whether the impact generated on fertility had some repercussion in the evolution of income inequality in Brazil. |

| Abstract: | While the significant influence of cultural proximity on bilateral trade flows has been extensively documented in the literature, its possible role in times of crisis has not yet been raised. Relying on a panel estimation of a gravity model incorporating cultural proximity parameters, we evidence the existence of a significant surge in the impact of the different components of cultural proximity during economic recession. The trade resilience among countries sharing a cultural bond is not a pure composition effect as it also appears within product categories. To understand this unexpected effect, we discuss different mechanisms that emphasize the potential mitigating influence of cultural proximity on some determinants of the trade collapse, namely the uncertainty shock, the increased moral hazard and the emergence of ethnocentric preferences. |
