Abstract
The cluster of innovations brought about by information and communication technology (ICT) is dramatically changing the ways in which the visual arts can be produced and consumed. By using the USA 2012 Survey of Public Participation in the Arts, we explore visual arts consumption through both onsite attendance at museums and electronic and digital media. To disentangle the complexity of the relationship of different forms of museums attendance, both a multinomial logit and a recursive bivariate probit model are estimated to obtain direct and indirect effects of the alternative forms of participation. Results demonstrate that there are no age consumer differences in the form they consume visual arts. Noticeable differences concern race, gender, families with children attending arts school, and type of occupation. In addition, results show that there is a trade-off between online and onsite visits. Visiting museums and art galleries have a positive correlation with the digital access to visual arts, both through handheld and mobile devices and via the internet, whilst the same correlation is not found for internet access on museum attendance. This means that for many consumers, online attendance is the only way to overcome time constraints and other costs involved in an onsite visit.
期刊介绍:
Cultural economics is the application of economic analysis to all of the creative and performing arts, the heritage and cultural industries, whether publicly or privately owned. It is concerned with the economic organization of the cultural sector and with the behavior of producers, consumers and governments in that sector. The subject includes a range of approaches, mainstream and radical, neoclassical, welfare economics, public policy and institutional economics. The editors and editorial board of the Journal of Cultural Economics seek to attract the attention of the economics profession to this branch of economics, as well as those in related disciplines and arts practitioners with an interest in economic issues. The Journal of Cultural Economics publishes original papers that deal with the theoretical development of cultural economics as a subject, the application of economic analysis and econometrics to the field of culture, and with the economic aspects of cultural policy. Besides full-length papers, short papers and book reviews are also published.Officially cited as: J Cult Econ
