BU Professor to Publish Seminal Work on Cultural Economics28 October 2009
Professor Ruth Towse, leading cultural economist and the Business School’s Professor of Economics of Creative Industries, will publish A Textbook of Cultural Economics in December 2009. Cambridge University Press states: What determines the price of a pop concert or an opera? Why does Hollywood dominate the film industry? Does illegal downloading damage the record industry? Does free entry to museums bring in more visitors? In A Textbook of Cultural Economics, one of the world’s leading cultural economists shows how we can use the theories and methods of economics to answer these and a host of other questions concerning the arts (performing arts, visual arts and literature), heritage (museums and built heritage) and creative industries (the music, publishing and film industries, broadcasting). Using international examples and covering the most up–to–date research, the book does not assume a prior knowledge of economics. It is ideally suited for students taking a course on the economics of the arts as part of an arts administration, business, management, or economics degree.
