Abstract

The proposal of a cultural economics relies  on  the use of economic logic, its concepts and methodology, for an accurate analysis of the cultural industry, comprising : external effects, long-term investments, specificity of remuneration, importance of public or private subsidy, including  a strong component of uncertainty. By transposing economic value to culture, it both fosters  discussions about public budgets and engages the corporate sector in cultural issues, creating methodologies for assessing the economic impact of culture on the generation of wealth and jobs.Such assessments comprise value of cultural capital, market share, intellectual property, justification for state interference in the market, estimation of the impact of multilateral agreements on social relations and the preservations of cultural expressions of a people. Cultural  economics imports  the tools  of economic knowledge to help support  the relevance  of culture as a generator of economic growth and its potential for socioeconomic development.
