This course will apply economic theories and methods to the
cultural sector and the tourism sector. The course will show how
economic theory can be used to analyze important economic problems
in these sectors, both from a macro and a micro perspective. The
course will introduce the economics of the public sector and
welfare economics, including theoretical concepts such as market
failures, externalities, public goods and common goods. Methods
such as cost-benefit, economic impact studies and contingent
valuation methods will be introduced and applied to study important
economic problems, such the economic importance of culture and
tourism in in local and regional development, cultural tourism, the
economic impact of big events, sustainable cultural and economic
development taking future generation into account, the non-market
values of arts and culture, and the negative externalities of
over-tourism.
