Brazil is characterized by a sharp consumption market and cultural activities across its distinct locations and social groups. With this in mind, this paper focuses on the relationship between supply of cultural facilities in Brazilian Metropolitan Regions (MR) and household expenditure on outdoor cultural activities through estimation of a two-stage (households and MRs) multilevel logistic model, using microdata from the Brazilian Consumer Expenditure Survey of 2002–2003 and 2008–2009. It was concluded that there is a strong concentration of expenditure distribution among different socioeconomic groups, and that expenditures on outdoor cultural activities (movies, concerts and arts) have demonstrated to be weakly correlated with the qualities of the different study Brazilian MRs, because greater variability of expenditure occurs within these regions. Thus, we also confirmed the hypothesis that recent advances in cultural policies have not been enough to reverse the inertia of inequality. Therefore, public initiatives in favor of cultural democratization, especially for inclusion of lower classes in cultural spaces, should consider the issue comprehensively, combining institutional supply issues, urban policy and public education.

文化活动支出：偏好还是机会？巴西消费者数据分析

巴西的特点是具有鲜明的消费市场和跨越不同地区和社会群体的文化活动。考虑到这一点，本文通过估计两阶段（家庭和 MR）多级逻辑模型，使用来自巴西大都市区 (MR) 的微观数据，重点关注巴西大都市区 (MR) 文化设施供应与家庭户外文化活动支出之间的关系。 2002-2003 年和 2008-2009 年巴西消费者支出调查。得出的结论是，不同社会经济群体的支出分布高度集中，并且户外文化活动（电影、音乐会和艺术）的支出与不同研究巴西 MR 的质量呈弱相关，因为这些地区的支出变化更大。因此，我们还证实了这样一个假设，即文化政策的最新进展不足以扭转不平等的惯性。因此，支持文化民主化的公共举措，尤其是将下层阶级纳入文化空间，应该综合考虑这个问题，结合制度供给问题、城市政策和公共教育。
