| Course content and
structure |
|
Course content:
The course will provide an overview of the cultural sector,
cultural economics and cultural policy. The course will show how
economic theory can be used to analyze economic problems in the
cultural sector, dealing with issues like market demand for arts
and culture, determinants of participation in arts and culture,
market failures like externalities and public goods in the cultural
sector, non-market demand for arts and culture, cost-benefit
analysis, production, productivity and the earning gab (Boumol and
Bowens disease). Cultural policy will be analyzed using relevant
theoretical models, and concrete examples of cultural policy at the
national as well as at the local level will be analyzed and
discussed. Current issues such as culture in local and regional
development and experience economy will be covered.
Course aim:
The course aims at giving knowledge about cultural economics and
cultural politics in a Western context. Cultural economics will be
introduced as a discipline dealing with economic questions of the
cultural sector. The course aims at giving the students knowledge
about how cultural economics can be used to analyze economic
problems in the cultural sector, especially relating to public
finance of culture and thereby providing arguments for cultural
politics. Besides the course will introduce cultural policy,
characterize different models for cultural policy and show
different goals and instruments of the different
models.
