Abstract

Despite being a globally significant form of art and culture, the performance of comedy has seemingly maintained a very low profile in cultural economics. The case for greater research scrutiny of this art form is advanced alongside some possible reasons for the relatively low academic attention devoted to comedy. The scope for considering comedy in economic terms is also considered, and a range of research questions are raised to stimulate debate and further enquiry on the topic.

笑话经济学：喜剧在文化艺术经济学中的低调地位

尽管喜剧表演是一种具有全球意义的艺术和文化形式，但在文化经济学中似乎一直处于非常低调的地位。本文提出了对这种艺术形式进行更深入研究的理由，以及学术界对喜剧关注度相对较低的一些可能原因。此外，还考虑了从经济学角度考虑喜剧的范围，并提出了一系列研究问题，以激发对这一主题的讨论和进一步探究。

期刊介绍： Cultural economics is the application of economic analysis to all of the creative and performing arts, the heritage and cultural industries, whether publicly or privately owned. It is concerned with the economic organization of the cultural sector and with the behavior of producers, consumers and governments in that sector. The subject includes a range of approaches, mainstream and radical, neoclassical, welfare economics, public policy and institutional economics. The editors and editorial board of the Journal of Cultural Economics seek to attract the attention of the economics profession to this branch of economics, as well as those in related disciplines and arts practitioners with an interest in economic issues. The Journal of Cultural Economics publishes original papers that deal with the theoretical development of cultural economics as a subject, the application of economic analysis and econometrics to the field of culture, and with the economic aspects of cultural policy. Besides full-length papers, short papers and book reviews are also published.Officially cited as: J Cult Econ
