Today, there is a general consensus on the importance of human capital to regional development, but there is still a debate around two key issues. The first involves the role of education /and or creativity, while the second revolves around the factors that affect its distribution. Since we know talent, associated with economic development, is spread unevenly, it is important to understand the factors that account for their varied geography. Most economists conceptualize talent as a stock or endowment, which belongs to a place in the same way that a natural resource might. But the reality is that talent is a flow, a highly mobile factor that can and does relocate. The key question then becomes: What factors shape this flow and determine the divergent levels of human capital and the creative class - education and skill - across regions?
