Spatial dependence in museum services: An analysis of the Italian case

Roberto Cellini, Tiziana Cuccia and Domenico Lisi

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: In this paper we investigate whether the services offered by museums are affected by the choices of neighbors, and we discuss whether the evidence can document that competition processes are at work. Specifically, we take into account the Italian case, where governmental and private museums co-exist. Resorting to Spatial Autoregressive Models, we show that a significant influence of neighbors’ choice concerning service supply does emerge. However, we cast several doubts that this piece of evidence can be solely due to sound competition among museums.
