摘要

我们采用产出导向的方法,通过对意大利剧院(包括歌剧院、永久性剧院和戏剧制作公司)的实证分析,研究了公共补贴对表演艺术效率的影响。首先,我们讨论了在公共补贴存在的情况下效率及其决定因素的先前工作。其次,采用随机前沿分析真随机效应模型和IV GMM第二阶段回归模型,并建立了补贴边际效应测度方法。我们的研究结果表明,公共资金对意大利戏剧公司的技术效率的影响是积极的和显著的。公共补贴对效率的弹性小于1。然而,补贴的回报率平均达到87%。这些回报在意大利PA子行业之间有所不同,戏剧制作公司的回报很高,永久性剧院的回报很低,歌剧院的回报很低。我们还发现,技术进步对意大利戏剧部门是负面的,随着时间的推移,它导致全要素生产率下降,为该部门存在鲍莫尔病提供了实证支持。总的来说,由于意大利剧院的技术效率至少可以提高25- 27%,政策制定者可以通过这样一种方式来制定公共激励措施,以避免由于政府和剧院公司之间的信息不对称,不加区别地提供(和批评)补贴。

Is it worth subsidising the cultural sector? New insights from Italian theatre companies

We study the impact of public subsidies on the efficiency of performing arts through an empirical analysis of Italian theatres (including opera houses, permanent theatres, and theatre production companies), using an output-oriented approach. Firstly, we discuss the previous works on efficiency and its determinants in the presence of public subsidies. Secondly, the stochastic frontier analysis true random-effects model and the IV GMM second stage regressions are used together with a procedure to measure the marginal effects of subsidies. Our findings suggest that the impact of public funds on technical efficiency of the Italian theatrical firms is positive and significant. The elasticity of public subsidy on efficiency is smaller than one. However, the return on subsidies amounts to 87 on average. These returns vary between Italian performing arts sub-sectors, and are very high for theatre production companies, low for permanent theatres, and very low for opera houses. We also find that the technological progress is negative for the theatrical Italian sector and it leads to the decline in total factor productivity over time, providing empirical support to the presence of Baumol’s disease in the sector. Overall, since Italian theatres technical efficiency could be increased at least by 25–27%, policy makers could work on public incentives in such a way as to avoid that, due to asymmetric information between government and theatrical firms, subsidies are provided (and criticised) indiscriminately.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Policy Modeling is published by Elsevier for the Society for Policy Modeling to provide a forum for analysis and debate concerning international policy issues. The journal addresses questions of critical import to the world community as a whole, and it focuses upon the economic, social, and political interdependencies between national and regional systems. This implies concern with international policies for the promotion of a better life for all human beings and, therefore, concentrates on improved methodological underpinnings for dealing with these problems.
