  • A Contingent Valuation Analysis of the Galway City Museum: Welfare Estimates for Attendance in the Absence of an Admission Fee
    The Economic and Social Review, Vol. 49, No. 4, Winter 2018, pp. 489-514 POLICY PAPER A Contingent Valuation Analysis of the Galway City Museum: Welfare Estimates for Attendance in the Absence of an Admission Fee Vincent G. Munley* Lehigh University, Bethlehem Pennsylvania Abstract: This paper provides empirical evidence about the demand for museum attendance in the absence of an admission fee based upon a survey of visitors to the Galway City Museum. The contingent valuation model results provide estimates of the total value (consumer surplus) of annual museum visits. Using these results it is possible to determine the welfare effects of predicted reductions in the number of visits at various levels for an admission fee. The results also provide insight about the impact of fees on the demand for subsequent versus initial museum visits, a focus of continuing interest within the cultural economics literature. I INTRODUCTION hile the question of how, and by whom, museum services should be financed Wis of long-standing and continuing interest within the cultural economics literature, there exists surprisingly scant evidence about the actual demand for museum attendance at point of entry. There are several potential reasons why this is the case. First, many museums offer free admission, limiting the availability of Acknowledgements: Earlier versions of this paper were presented at seminars at the National University of Ireland, Galway Department of Economics and the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) in Dublin and also included in the programme for the 2018 Meetings of the Public Choice Society in Charleston, South Carolina. Extensive, helpful comments by two anonymous referees motivated revisions that improved the paper substantially.
