The Economics of Museums

Bruno Frey and Stephan Meier

No 149, IEW - Working Papers from Institute for Empirical Research in Economics - University of Zurich

Abstract: This paper surveys the literature on the economics of museums. It first discusses aspects of the demand and supply of museum services. The museum behaviour is then analysed from a neoclassical and a more institutional perspective. Public policy issues connected with museums are discussed. The survey ends with discussing current trends in the museums world from an economic point of view.
