Abstract

This work aims to evaluate cultural policies, specifically in the dance sector, an area which has received scant attention in economic literature so far. Data Envelopment Analysis is applied to evaluate public program performance and the stakeholders involved therein. We select a Spanish public policy supporting dance as case study, which includes public authorities, theaters and dance companies. The former provide the funding while the others offer the artistic idea that is taken to the audience. We find that efficiency in resource performance often runs counter to other cultural aims such as increasing audiences or extending repertoire diversity.

评估舞蹈部门的文化政策。效率总是意味着实现目标吗？

摘要

这项工作旨在评估文化政策，特别是在舞蹈领域，这个领域迄今为止在经济文献中很少受到关注。数据包络分析用于评估公共计划的绩效和其中涉及的利益相关者。我们选择支持舞蹈的西班牙公共政策作为案例研究，其中包括公共当局、剧院和舞蹈公司。前者提供资金，而其他提供给观众的艺术理念。我们发现资源表现的效率往往与其他文化目标背道而驰，例如增加观众或扩大曲目多样性。
