The Value of Culture for the 6-City Collaboration 2024
Background
The municipalities in the 6-city collaboration (Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense, Aalborg, Esbjerg, and Randers Municipality) have partnered with Silverlining Research to estimate the total value of the culture and leisure sector for both citizens and society in their respective municipalities.
To achieve this, Silverlining Research has developed a specialized study design that draws on the latest research in the culture and leisure field, providing a thorough and nuanced analysis of the area. An individual report has been prepared for each municipality, and finally, a comparative report is being developed to analyze the results across the municipalities. The project is ongoing and is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
Method
The analysis of the value of culture and leisure consists of three sub-analyses:
1. The socioeconomic analysis, calculated using the LINE model, estimates the gross value added, employment, and tax revenue generated by the culture and leisure sector in each municipality.
2. Additionally, the perceived utility value of the municipalities’ culture and leisure sector is analyzed through the ‘Contingent Valuation Method’, which assesses citizens’ willingness to pay for the sector.
3. Finally, the analysis will focus on how the culture and leisure sectors provide both instrumental and intrinsic values for citizens.
Results
The results are in progress, and they aim to provide the municipalities with insights into the significance of culture and leisure for society and its citizens. Moreover, the results will be used in the municipalities’ ongoing efforts to ensure a vibrant culture and leisure sector.
