      abstract = {Cultural economics has become well established as a  subject of interest for students and instructors of courses  ranging from economics to arts administration as well as  for policy-makers and practitioners in the creative  industries. Digitization has had a tremendous impact on  many areas of the creative economy and the third edition of  this popular book fully reflects it.  The Handbook of  Cultural Economics is an acknowledged leading source for  students, teachers and others interested in finding out  about the subject. Cultural economics covers a wide range  of topics and they are reflected in the many short and  accessibly written chapters. Each chapter is written by a  specialist in the subject and offers both suggestions for  further reading and cross-references to other related  chapters in the book. It therefore combines accessibility  with depth of knowledge. The intention of the book is to  introduce the reader to the various topics and to testify  to the strength of economics in explaining the economic  aspects of the world of the arts and creative industries.  The third edition demonstrates the huge impact that  digitization has had on production and consumption in the  sector.  While being accessible to any reader with a basic  knowledge of economics, it presents a comprehensive study  at the forefront of the field for students and teachers of  economics, business economics, creative industries, and  media and arts administration as well as for  policy-makers.},
