CBD is a Research Paradigm that studies cultural bias in economic choice.
It is widely applied to quantify culture’s impact on regional development.
Dr. Annie Tubadji, a cultural and regional economist, has made significant contributions to understanding the interplay between culture and economic development. Her work centers around the Culture-Based Development (CBD) paradigm, that she has pioneered, which integrates cultural dimensions into economic models.
CBD Paradigm:
In summary, the CBD Paradigm bridges the gap between culture and economics, providing practical tools for policymakers and researchers. It contributes significantly to the field of New Cultural Economics, emphasizing the need to consider the dynamics of the cultural factors in regional development strategies.
Dr. Tubadji’s CBD framework emphasizes that cultural factors significantly shape economic choices. By quantifying cultural capital and its impact on income inequality across Italian, Greek, German, USA and Chinese regions, CBD has shed light on the role of creativity in economic outcomes.
The means through which policy makers can implement CBD-related intervention is investment in aesthetic education.

Recognition:
Dr. Tubadji’s groundbreaking work has earned her the Dillwyn Medal from the Learned Society of Wales. Her interdisciplinary approach that has accumulated over 50 academic publications continues to shape our understanding of culture’s impact on economic outcomes.
Indicators for Creative Industries:
Dr. Tubadji develops tailored indicators for creative industries, capturing their unique dynamics within regional economies.
These indicators provide valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking to foster economic growth while preserving cultural heritage and the arts, or the creative industries in total.
Cultural Entropy and Regional Productivity:
Cultural Entropy, a concept coined by Dr. Tubadji within the framework of Culture Based Development paradigm, assesses disorder or randomness within the cultural system in a place. Her research highlights how Cultural Entropy affects diversity and thus regional productivity, innovation, and growth.
Consultation and Impact:
Dr. Tubadji has collaborated among others with the Basque Government and the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission on the creation of a list of indicators for the Creative Industries based on Cultural Entropy measures.
Her insights into cultural dynamics inform policy decisions, particularly regarding creative industries and sustainable development.
