Moral Foundations of Public Funding for the Arts
The Claims of Politics on the Arts? Oakeshott and Scrutiny in the 1930s
In 1939, under pressure to take a more definitive political position, the editors of the literary journal Scrutiny, under the leadership of F. R. Leavis, convened a symposium titled “The Claims of Politics,” on the question of whether political advocacy had a place in a journal dedicated to literature and the arts. This remains a salient question to the present day. This paper considers the circumstances that led to the symposium and specifically…
Creative industries in the United States
In policy fields such as public health, policing, and pollution abatement, evaluation of the effectiveness of programs and policies is commonplace: What are the goals sought? What means have been tried to achieve them? Which alternatives prove to be most cost effective in pursuit of goals? But evaluation of programs in the cultural and creative industries is presently much less extensive than in these other areas of policy. In part this might be …

Why do we subsidize donations to the opera
In many countries – the US, Canada and the UK, for example – donors to charities receive the identical subsidy through the tax system whether their donation is to a homeless shelter, or to the opera. The way in which charitable giving is subsidized differs across systems, but the equal treatment of very different charities is common to them. Given the different circumstances of the beneficiaries of these various of charities, how can the identica…

Performance measurement as policy rhetoric
Various reforms at the federal level have led bureaucracies, including arts councils, to design and implement performance measurement systems. We still know very little about whether performance measurement has any influence on the external conditions of arts councils, or whether it serves as policy rhetoric for arts advocacy. In this article, we seek to understand the answers to these questions by conducting a case study of performance measureme…
Thinking outside the empathy box
The claim that the arts have an instrumental role in making more empathic citizens has taken hold in our funding bodies. Creative Scotland’s (2016) recent strategic plan holds that “By offering alternative perspectives and experiences the arts can help us to make sense of the world, generate empathy, influence how we live and work together, and help us express and form societal values.” (p. 15). The Arts and Humanities Research Council (Crossick …
Should public and nonprofit museums have free admission? A defence of the membership model
A common pricing structure for American art museums is to offer a choice between an admission fee for a single visit, and the purchase of an annual membership that would allow the member an unlimited number of visits with no additional charge. This paper evaluates this particular method of museum pricing in terms of efficiency and equity. It concludes, drawing from the economic analysis of two-part pricing, that there is a strong rationale for th…

Strategic Pricing for the Arts
With roughly half of all income for non-profit arts organizations in the United States coming from earned revenue rather than donations and state funding, the issue of pricing is paramount to success in the arts industry, yet pricing is not covered in any existing textbooks. How should prices differ between ordinary and premium seating? How much of a discount in admission should be offered through membership or season subscription? When does it m…

A Note on the Use and Misuse of the Racial Diversity Index
This note concerns the use of the Blau index of racial and ethnic diversity in the social sciences and in policy analysis. The diversity index, by design, captures the heterogeneity of the population group being studied, typically according to the racial and ethnic categories of the U.S. Census but does not account for the relative size of specific racial groups. Thus, with the most commonly used diversity index, the implicit assumption is that f…

Political oversight of arts councils
During the past decade there has been a substantial revival of interest among economists and political scientists in the study of institutional structures in the public sector. Of critical importance is the design of rules governing accountability and the delegation of authority. The funding of culture through public arts councils provides an interesting set of problems, because of the necessary reliance on expert judgment in selecting what to fu…

When in Rome… Amending Canada's Copyright Act
Bill C-32, An Act to Amend the Copyright Act, received royal assent on 25 April 1997. This was known as "Phase II" of copyright reform, "Phase I" having been enacted in 1988. Along with a number of technical amendments, there are four substantial changes to copyright law in the bill: a clarification of exemptions for non-profit institutions such as universities and libraries; stronger rules against "parallel importation" of books; a levy on blank…
