Cultura y desarrollo económico: creación de indicadores del capital cultural en Perú

We aim to construct cultural capital synthetic indicators considering cultural resources from a wide perspective and with spatial specification in order to assess their impact on economic development and spatial disparities. As a case study, we take Peru, a country boasting great cultural diversity throughout its regional division, ranging from material heritage to immaterial elements together with valuable cultural and creative entrepreneurship initiatives. We apply multivariate analysis to construct composite indices and clustering regions, and interpret the results by comparing them with economic disparities. We also examine the interaction and drivers between cultural capital and economic development at a regional scale.
