Making a crisis out of a drama : Should we continue public financial support for the British theatre? / Alan Collins and Chris Hand
Series: Discussion paper ; 78Publication details: Milton (UK) : University of Portsmouth. Department of Economics, 1996Description: [28] pSummary: This paper considers the arguments relating to the merits of continuing subsidies to the British theatre arts. These are initially framed around the populist assertions typically levelled against advocates of continued subsidy. The mixed commodity nature of the good, the extent of external benefits, and the problems of identifying returns to arts subsidy, are identified as key themes in the debate, and shown to frustrate precise determination of an optimal subsidy level for contemporary British theatre.
