SUMMARY:

This dissertation consists of two articles that seek to investigate the Brazilian cultural sector. The first article aims to evaluate the factors that are associated with the consumption of direct cultural goods and services outside the home, considering such consumption as interconnected with the consumption of other cultural goods and services, through a bivariate probit analysis. For this, data from the Household Budget Survey (POF) from 2017-2018 are used. Overall, the results obtained for the model indicate that the consumption of direct cultural goods and services outside the home and the consumption of other cultural goods and services are positively correlated, highlighting the issue of inequality in cultural consumption due to certain social barriers (education, income, access to credit, among others). An indicator of cultural amenities is also developed, focusing on differences in the supply of cultural facilities in Brazilian metropolitan regions. For this purpose, data from the 2018 Municipal Basic Information Survey (MUNIC) are used. The results of the indicator confirm the presence of regional inequalities in access to the cultural facilities examined. The second article aims to assess the intersectoral impact of artistic and cultural activities on other sectors of the Brazilian economy. First, such an analysis is conducted by weighing the effects of Covid-19, which allows identifying how the sector was affected, in terms of product, employment and income. Next, the relevance of the cultural sector is evaluated considering the different family income groups. For this, the input-output approach is used, with the most recent Brazilian data matrix from 2015 and information from the POF. The main results point out that a crisis, such as that of Covid-19, considering only the effect on the cultural sector, has an impact of reducing the product of cultural activities by 31.8%, equivalent to a loss of 237,701 jobs. This result signals the relevance of the sector to the Brazilian economy. Furthermore, lower-income families, a group representing more than 70% of households, are responsible for only 28% of all Brazilian families' demand for the cultural sector; while families in the highest income strata, which represent less than 3% of households, consume 22% of the sector. This result points to the importance of public policies being developed in order to stimulate consumption among lower-income groups, since, in addition to the economic benefits shown in this research, there are intangible benefits of cultural activity for a society.
