Institutionalizing medical certification of cause of death training
BACKGROUND: Accurate medical certification of cause of death (MCCD) is indispensable to producing high-quality mortality data for public health planning and health systems. While training is known to improve MCCD quality, countries may struggle to institutionalize training programs sustainably. OBJECTIVE: This study examines the approaches taken by seven countries across three world regions - Bangladesh, Colombia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Sri Lan…

Superstar Museums and global media exposure
Superstar architecture can play a key role in the global positioning of museums in influential mass media, thereby successfully attracting cultural tourism (e.g. the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, GMB). Yet, an evident shortcoming is the mapping of media positioning. The aim of this article is precisely to draw and visualize this positioning of the GMB through networks. Two innovative features characterize this study: first, from a theoretical point o…
Culture-led city brands as economic engines
Cultural re-imaging through iconic art museums aims to create symbolic capital for a place in the form of creative images, reputation and associations with innovation. While literature has long identified architectural uniqueness as a potential driver of brand competitiveness, we argue diffusion of that image is equally important. This work draws upon economic concepts from other cultural industries (such as film, music and art) to develop a fram…
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao
This paper aims to show the levels of local and regional embeddedness of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (GMB) as well as its effects on the position of Bilbao within global networks. Although it is often said that the GMB as an international art franchise did not fit well with the local traditions, values and culture of Bilbao and the Basque Country, this paper attempts to show that the GMB is quite embedded into the local and regional context of i…
Renewal through Culture? The Role of Museums in the Renewal of Industrial Regions in Europe
Bilbao has become a role model for the regeneration of declining urban and industrial regions. The debate on the so-called Bilbao effect showed that rundown industrial cities and regions might profit from culture-based development strategies, even if successful urban regeneration cannot be induced by only one flagship project without an appropriate local and regional context. Based on the comparative analysis of six, in general recently founded, …
Research Note
The official report of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao states that the museum has contributed to the maintenance (note, not the ‘creation’) of almost 4,400 jobs. Yet, this estimate is not sufficiently enlightening, as it comes from sources too close to the museum. This article offers an alternative estimation based on the regional Tourism Satellite Accounts. The new results thus obtained suggest that overall direct and indirect employment generation…

Bilbao's Art Scene and the “Guggenheim effect” Revisited
The article analyzes the effects of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (GMB), adopting a new research perspective and trying to pursue the links between the museum and Bilbao's art scene. Until now, the impact of the museum has been analyzed from two different perspectives. The first focused on the urban development and regeneration aspects and the success of the museum as a tourist magnet and an image-making device. The second perspective concentrated…
Museums for urban regeneration? Exploring conditions for their effectiveness
The traditional mission of a museum is essentially cultural. This is not so for all museums, however. There are a minority, although universally famous museums, such as the Tate Liverpool, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, the Tate Modern London or the new forthcoming Louvre-Lens (France), Pompidou-Metz (France), Guggenheim Hermitage (Lithuania) and Guggenheim Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates), whose principal aim is the reactivation (and/or diversifi…
On Some Challenges and Conditions for the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to be an Effective Economic Re-activator
The mission of a museum is essentially cultural, however this is not the case for all museums. There are a minority of universally famous museums, like the Tate Liverpool, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, the Tate Modern London, the new forthcoming Louvre-Lens (France), the Guggenheim-Hermitage in Vilnius (Lithuania) and the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) whose principal aim is the re-activation (and/or the diversification) of the econo…
The Return on Investment of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao
The city of Bilbao has made use of a museum as one of the multiple means to restructure its former industrial base. However, the effectiveness of this costly formula is not always clear. Three major issues have arisen: the effects of Guggenheim Museum Bilbao on Bilbao's image, the effects on overnight stays, and the effects on the local economy. There is little debate about the first issue, and room for more evidence on the second and third issue…
Managed competition for the poor or poorly managed competition? Lessons from the Colombian health reform experience
BACKGROUND: In 1993, Colombia enacted and subsequently implemented a radical reform in its system of providing health care for the poor, moving in a short time from a traditional model of providing health services in public hospitals to a managed competition model in which the government buys health insurance for the poor. This study examines and attempts to draw lessons from the early experience with this reform. METHODS: Information was gathere…
Guggenheim Museum's Effectiveness to Attract Tourism
Evaluating the Influence of a Large Cultural Artifact in the Attraction of Tourism
Bilbao is an outstanding test case for the impact of an internationally famous cultural facility in a context that otherwise does not lend itself to large flows of tourism. Although early for a complete impact study, the aim of this study is to quantify the influence of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in the attraction of tourism and to identify the potential factors that explain such impact in the short run
