Analysis on Influencing Factors of Cross-city Flow of Creative Talents
Based on the data from the"National Dynamic Monitoring Survey on Health and Family Planning of Floating Population(2017)"conducted by the National Health Commission and the amenity data of prefecture-level cities in China,this paper focuses on examining the attractiveness and acting mechanism of urban amenities to creative talents.As shown by the research results,in addition to economic opportunities,creative talents choose to flow to a certain city in order to enjoy the amenities that the city provides and that are closely related to their quality of life,such as natural environment,cultural facilities,and innovative atmosphere.Meanwhile,research has found that cities with higher social tolerance are also attractive to creative talents.The flow behavior of creative talents exhibits heterogeneity,and their decisions on and preferences to flow are related to their family life cycle.Although the construction of urban amenities can enhance the attractiveness to creative talents,its effectiveness is limited.Therefore,policy makers should not overestimate the talent attraction effect of construction of urban amenities,but should also consider social tolerance as an important factor in urban attractiveness,and classify and manage creative talents.
