This updated CSA and SAM-Based MEIAM report continues to include the full sections that describe the process used to compile the CCI CSA compiled in 2017 and to update it to 2018 prices; as well as the process used to compile the 2016 CCI SAM and update i
This report is an updated version of the original Research Report 2: Cultural and Creative Industries Satellite Account Embedded into a Social Accounting Matrix for South Africa that was produced in December 2017, and which was the second in a series of five reports that were produced in 2017 in response to a specific request from the Department of Arts, Sports and Culture (DSAC) and the South African Cultural Observatory (SACO) that the scope of work and deliverables for this research study be presented in five separate reports.
This current study is conducted under the auspices of the Nelson Mandela University in partnership with Rhodes University, University of Fort Hare, and the University of KwaZulu-Natal.
Two of the key deliverables of the 2017 study were a Cultural and Creative Industries Satellite Account (CSA) for South Africa, and a Cultural and Creative Industries Social Accounting Matrixbased Macroeconomic Impact Assessment Model (MEIAM).
In order to provide these deliverables, Conningarth Economists compiled a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) that incorporates an internal Satellite Account (CSA) for the South African CCI sector. This CCI SAM, along with its internal CSA, was then incorporated into a proprietary Macroeconomic Impact Assessment Modelling System (MEIAM) that will enable the DAC and SACO to subject future CCI policy implementation programs to comprehensive macroeconomic impact assessment as part of its decision-making processes.
Updating the CSA and MEIAM compiled in 2017 has involved incorporating 2018 data into this integrated modelling system and updating the various multipliers inherent in a SAM. A later section of this report describes the various data sources used to obtain the latest available data for the model updating exercise.
This updated CSA and SAM-Based MEIAM report continues to include the full sections that describe the process used to compile the CCI CSA compiled in 2017 and to update it to 2018 prices (see Section 2: Compiling a Cultural and Creative Industries Satellite Account for South Africa); as well as the process used to compile the 2016 CCI SAM and update it to 2018 (see Section 3: Compiling a Cultural and Creative Industries Social Accounting Matrix for South Africa).
The reason for including the complete text for Sections 2 and 3 is to provide readers with a comprehensive description of the processes use to compile an updated CCI SAM for South Africa that incorporates an internal CCI CSA. Section 4 presents the results produced by the updated 2018 CCI CSA for South Africa.
It is important to note that, during the Project Close–Out phase, a comparison of the results reflected in this updated CCI CSA and SAM report will be made with the results reflected in the original 2017 report. As such, the structure and layout of the tables and figures contained in this report is exactly the same as that used in the 2017 report.
Table 1.1 below reflects the scope of work undertaken in this 2019 study, as well as the names of the reports produced as part of the overall study.
