Summary: Bajo este título general, se presentan una serie de ensayos expuestos en la 6a Conferencia Internacional sobre la Economía de la Cultural celebrada en Umea (Suecia) en 1990. Veintiseís artículos de expertos de quince países sobre temas muy diversos que se han reagrupado en seis grupos temáticos: 1) Política y evaluación de las políticas; 2) Cuestiones relacionada con los precios y la comercialización del arte; 3) Públicos para las artes; 4) Comercio de bienes culturales; 5) Ganancias de los artistas; 6) Estudios de casos. Los compiladores han escogido aquellas contribuciones que analizan económicamente las intervenciones en cultura, aunque no de forma exclusiva, pues incluyen también contribuciones de artistas profesionales, cuya experiencia puede resultar enriquecedora y facilitar un enfoque teórico.Summary: Cultural economics as a field of research involves two areas, culture and economy. These two areas have been traditionally regarded as each other's antithesis. However, the economic aspects of culture have increasingly become a matter of everyday reality for persons working in the cultural field. The economy of culture has always been in the focus of political interest. Political decisions concerning such priority areas as the development of regional institutions, support to the artists and cultural programmes for children and youth have important economic implications. This book deals with a range of topics in cultural economics. It contains original papers by economists workingin the field from 15 different countries and covers a host of both theoretical and practical issues, covering the performing arts, arts marketsand museums. It represents an up-to-date statement of the application of economic ideas to cultural questions. (Font: Editor)
