A Multidimensional Model Analysis in Cultural Economics: The Italian Case

Nicola Mattoscio and Donatella Furia

Tourism Economics, 2010, vol. 16, issue 3, 565-583

Abstract: In modern globalized economies, knowledge is gaining increasing importance as a key productive factor. In this respect, the role of culture in knowledge-based economies is growing significantly, both from a consumption perspective and in production activities. This paper seeks to provide documentary evidence of these new phenomena. After recalling the theoretical foundations of cultural economics, the authors assess the demand for cultural goods and its spatial agglomeration in Italy. A model of multidimensional analysis is tested by considering simultaneously a wide array of variables that account for the demand for cultural activities or for its most market-oriented components.
