Abstract

The empirical analysis of individual participation in local and popular feasts and festivals is a field little explored by cultural economists. This article proposes a methodological scheme to analyse the profile of the participants in local and popular feasts and carnivals, allowing the establishment of a taxonomy that captures the heterogeneity of the participants replicable to other festivities and carnivals around the world. Similarly, participation equations that allow the analysis of the influence of context variables on individual decisions to participate in these types of events are estimated. For this, the Carnival of Barranquilla, the largest and most representative popular celebration in Colombia and declared by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, is used as a case study. The data were obtained from the Citizen Perception Survey of the Barranquilla Cómo Vamos programme, which evaluates the quality of life and the fulfilment of development plans in that city, and an empirical strategy is employed consisting of the estimation of a probit discrete choice model, which allows modelling the individual decisions of a time-intensive good, such as a carnival, with a strong influence of traditional variables, such as cultural capital and the availability of leisure time, and other context variables: location of people in the territory, stratification and poverty. The different profiles found offer information on the different strategies that can be implemented from public policy to stimulate greater participation by the population in popular festivities and festivals.

谁参加大众节日?哥伦比亚巴兰基亚狂欢节的文化经济学实证研究

个人参与地方和大众节日的实证分析是文化经济学家很少探索的领域。本文提出了一种方法方案来分析当地和流行的节日和狂欢节参与者的概况，允许建立一个分类法，捕捉参与者的异质性，可复制到世界各地的其他节日和狂欢节。同样，参与方程允许分析环境变量对参与这些类型事件的个人决策的影响。为此，我们以哥伦比亚规模最大、最具代表性、被联合国教科文组织列为人类非物质文化遗产的巴兰基亚狂欢节为例进行研究。数据来自巴兰基亚Cómo Vamos方案的公民感知调查，该方案评估了该城市的生活质量和发展计划的实现情况，并采用了一种经验策略，包括对概率离散选择模型的估计，该模型允许对时间密集型商品(如狂欢节)的个人决定进行建模，该商品受到传统变量(如文化资本和闲暇时间的可用性)的强烈影响。以及其他环境变量:人们在领土上的位置，阶层和贫困。所发现的不同概况提供了可以从公共政策中实施的不同战略的信息，以刺激人们更多地参与流行的庆祝活动和节日。
