Determining the Value of Cultural Goods: How much (or how little) does contingent valuation tell us?
What does CVM tell us about the value of cultural goods and services, and what does it leave out?

Contingent Valuation Studies in the Arts and Culture: An Annotated Bibliography
There is a (mis)perception that the economic approach relies on soulless, cold and calculating rational actors. This leads many who work in the cultural arena to be suspicious of and sometimes even deny any possibility of economists’ contribution. To many, an economic theory associated with profit-maximizing firms seems ill-suited to describe many artists.
