Where Are We Now On Cultural Economics
回顾了文化经济学自1966年诞生以来的进展，区分理论与实证进步，涵盖品味形成、需求供给、媒体产业、艺术市场、艺术经济史、艺术家劳动力市场、鲍莫尔成本病、非营利艺术组织及公共补贴九大主题，指出几乎所有领域均有进展。
A survey of progress in cultural economics since its virtual birth in 1966 with the publication of Baumol and Bowen, Performing Arts: The Economic Dilemma , distinguishing between ‘theoretical progress’ and ‘empirical progress’. Following in the footsteps of Towse’s recent anthology of classic papers in cultural economics, I address nine topics that between them cover the subject, namely, (1) taste and taste formation, (2) demand and supply studies, (3) the media industries, (4) the art market, (5) the economic history of the arts, (6) the labour market for artists, (7) Baumol’s cost disease, (8) non‐profit arts organisations, and (9) public subsidies to the arts. I conclude that there has been some theoretical and empirical progress in the treatment of almost all these topics.
