Economics and the Akron Art Museum: an economic impact and benefit cost analysis / by William S. Hendon, Frank Costa
Series: The Cultural studies monograph series ; 1Publication details: Akron, Ohio : The University of Akron. Center for Urban Studies, 1988Description: 52 pSummary: This study evaluates the economics of the Akron Art Museum as the museum has economic impact upon the local economy insofar as the museum creates visitor and service benefits for citizens. The study was begun in the summer of 1986 and during the fall of 1986, visitors to the museum were asked to fill out a survey form. Three hundred and seventeen survey forms were completed and it is this base that is used to represent visitors to the museum for descriptive and economic benefit purposes. In economic terms, we employed two methods: impact analysis, using a proportional income multiplier and for the benefit analysis, a modified Clawson-Knetsch demand model. Both techniques have been widely used in cultural and recreational analysis in economics but never for the same project at the same time. (Font.
