Samenvatting
Governments often see it as their responsibility to support cultural life and at times spend a significant amount of resources in the pursuit of this goal. Authors analyse whether and how municipalities influence each other in this decision to spend resources on the arts (using data on local government spending in 304 Flemish municipalities in 2002). Following 'central place theory', the focal point of the analysis is the idea that, especially for cultural expenditures, large municipalities may effect their neighbours' behaviour differently than small municipalities. The empirical analysis supports this idea. |
