Summary Research Report 2 - CCI SAM and CSA

Overview

This summary report presents the key findings derived from the Technical Research Report 2: Cultural and Creative Industries Updated Satellite Account Embedded into an Updated Social Accounting Matrix for South Africa to 2018 Prices.

Two of the key deliverables of this component of the broader study are:

• • An Updated Cultural and Creative Industries Satellite Account (CSA) for South Africa; and,
  • An Updated Cultural and Creative Industries Social Accounting Matrix-based Macroeconomic Impact Assessment Model (MEIAM).

In order to provide these deliverables, Conningarth Economists updated a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) that incorporates an internal Satellite Account (CSA) for the South African CCI sector. This updated CCI SAM, along with its updated internal CSA, was then incorporated into a proprietary Macroeconomic Impact Assessment Modelling System (MEIAM) that will enable the Nelson Mandela University and DSAC to subject future CCI policy implementation programs to comprehensive macroeconomic impact assessment as part of its decisionmaking processes.

In updating the CCI SAM and its embedded updated internal CSA, Conningarth Economists has made use of official statistics produced and published by StatsSA and the SARB.
