This paper uses the logistic regression model and the count data model to identify the determinants of the likelihood and frequency of attendance at performing arts events in Taiwan. Using data collected from a telephone survey, we find that education and income, being determinants of the likelihood of attendance, are not significant in determining frequency of attendance. On the other hand, whereas members of performing arts groups attend more frequently than non-members, holding a membership or not does not seem to affect the likelihood of attendance. Personal relationships with the performing arts industry make one more likely to attend as well as to attend more frequently. Those who more often watch or listen to performing arts programs through the media or pay more attention to performing arts-related information are also likely to participate in live events and participate frequently. Lastly, age dose matter. We further find evidence of both life cycle and human capital effects in performing arts attendance. 相似文献

Compared to other leisure time activities, the effect of arts attendance on happiness has received less attention and studies of related topics have produced mixed results, identifying either no effect or very small effects. We investigate this issue using a large (N = 7753) sample from the UK. In contrast to earlier studies, quantile regression is used to allow the relationship between arts attendance and other controls and happiness to vary across different levels of happiness. The relationship found in prior studies is confirmed, but the quantile regression results show that the nature of the relationship varies across the distribution of the happiness variable. A significant relationship is found at the lower quartile, and a moderate relationship (significant at the 10% level) is found at the median level. 相似文献

This report focuses on state government appropriations to state arts agencies (SAA), a primary figure in arts and cultural
policy in the United States. A dynamic panel-data estimator can identify the fiscal, institutional, and demographic determinants
on SAA appropriations. Agency budgets are particularly sensitive to past appropriations, past state revenues and NEA grants,
some demographic variables, party control of state government, and state budgeting rules. Federal funds attract, rather than
crowd out, state appropriations. While the influence of some demographic variables may be shifting over time, income growth
continues to explain much of SAA appropriations.

In this article, we examine the objectives of nonprofit arts firms. We approach this problem from both theoretical and empirical
angles, building a structural model of arts nonprofit utility that distinguishes between the maximization of quality, the
organization’s level of service, and its budget. We then construct an empirical method for testing which objective is evident
in firm-level data. As an example application, we test the objectives of the managers of American public radio stations in
the 1990s, finding that about half of stations have discernible objectives. The data show service is not an objective for
about 30% of the stations; quality can be ruled out for 49%; and budget is rejected for 69%. In addition, large stations are
harder to classify by objective than small ones are.

This paper analyzes the productivity development in the German public theater sector for the seasons 1991/1992 to 2005/2006.
Using a stochastic distance frontier approach that allows decomposing total factor productivity change into different sources,
we examine (a) whether Baumol’s cost-disease hypothesis is valid in this sector and (b) if so, whether any negative influence
of the cost-disease effect on productivity can be compensated by efficiency gains. The findings indicate an increase in real
unit labor cost as a result of rising wage rates and thus do support the cost-disease hypothesis. Further, increasing returns
to scale are observed for the majority of the theaters, implying that significant efficiency gains can be realized by the
exploitation of scale economies. However, because of the increasing unit labor cost and an increasing scale inefficiency,
we find an overall decrease in average productivity of about 8% within the sample period. 相似文献
