Abstract
The article looks into recent academic works, practical projects, and research reports related to the evaluation of cultural values and the assessment of cultural impact. The key questions asked are: why is the measurement of the value and impact of art and culture an issue? What is the rationale for measur-ing the value and impact of culture? And by what methods can this be done? Can cultural theorists and practitioners propose more convincing methods to measure the value of culture empirically and numer-ically? Or are there other, non-economic methods that can easily be understood by economists, social scientists, policymakers, and the general public? Underlying these questions are methodological debates regarding the measurement of cultural value across the disciplines of the social sciences and the human-ities. Recent research and policy studies seem to conform in pointing to the need for an overall re-evaluation of culture in organizational management, administration, and public policymaking.
