Summary: Aquest llibre és una guia única sobre l'estat de les arts a l'economia de la cultura. Està dividit en tres seccions i dotze capítols: primer analitza la necessitat d'una definició i d'una delimitació acurades del "sector cultural"; en segon lloc investiga fins a quin punt l'anàlisi econòmica pot il.lustrar les motivacions d'artistes creatius d'èxit, així com d'empreses artístiques; la tercera secció, finalment, fomenta un debat sobre les polítiques públiques per a la cultura i porta el debat més enllà de l'apreciació econòmica general d'arguments a favor del recolzament financer dels governs. Es fa palès que el paper dels poders públics consisteix en definir els drets de propietat per als productes artístics, regular el finançament de les arts i analitzar com s'apliquen actualment als criteris de suport del sector públic. (Font: El Centre)Summary: Cultural Economics and Cultural Policies offers a unique guide to the 'state of the art' in cultural economics. First, it alerts scholars and students to the necessity for careful definition and measurement of the 'cultural sector'. Second, it affords examples of how economic analysis can shed light on the motivation of creative and performing artists and of artistic enterprises. Third, Cultural Economics and Cultural Policies widens the discussion of public policy towards the arts beyond general economic appraisal of arguments for government financial support. It does so by (i) considering the government's role in defining property rights in artistic products and in regulating as well as financing the arts; (ii) examining how the criteria for government support are actually applied. Cultural Economics and Cultural Policies will be of interest to economists, students and policy makers. (Font: Editor)
