Abstract:

The econometric testing of hypotheses regarding the performing and the creative arts is only just beginning. Therefore it is encouraging to note the generally favorable results reported by Wither (1979) in applying the basic Bergstrom and Goodman (BG) (1973) median voter model to state and local art support in Australia. . . This comment is directed to the application of BG's 'crowding test' to determine the degree of publicness exhibited by creative and performing arts activities. It will be argued that this is not a speculation regarding private vs. public motives for government arts support is thereby misleading. (p. 47)
