Details
The Department for Culture, Media & Sport commissioned Alma Economics to carry out a feasibility study of different approaches that could be used to produce a single reliable estimate of the economic contribution of heritage organisations to the UK economy.
The report considers 4 approaches:
- dynamic mapping
- ‘SIC-SOC’ mapping
- satellite accounts
- ‘big data’
The research assesses these approaches against 6 criteria (coverage, disaggregation, robustness, feasibility, replicability, comparability) and sets out recommendations for improving economic estimates of the heritage sector.
