Cultural Economics Online Seminars

Upcoming Seminars

 

Seminar 32: The wealth of regions: the value of cultural and tourist ecosystems / La riqueza de las regiones: valoración de los ecosistemas turísticos y culturales

The seminar will take place live on Tuesday, 13 May 2025 at 4:00 pm London time (GMT+1). Join via Microsoft Teams [here].

Abstract: The purpose of this seminar is to analyse the cultural enclaves of the territories that are closely related to tourist activity. To do so, we use two different but complementary methodological perspectives: one of economic valuation and the other of efficiency. The findings show the possibilities of using culture and heritage to promote economic development, competitiveness and improved living conditions.

The seminar will be held in Spanish.

Presenters:

Mafalda Gómez Vega is Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Economics at the University of Valladolid and PhD in Economics from the same institution. Her research work focuses on the economics of tourism, the economics of the performing arts, the study of creative industries and the evaluation of cultural institutions. She has published her work in high scientific journals such as the Journal of Cultural Economics, Tourism Management and Tourism Economics, among others.

Jonathan Daniel Gómez Zapata is Associate Professor at the School of Economics, Faculty of Economics, Universidad Nacional de Colombia and PhD in Economics from the University of Valladolid.

About CEOS

The Cultural Economics Online Seminar (CEOS) series provides a forum to bring members of the ACEI community together to learn about the latest research taking place in the field. CEOS connects researchers worldwide to share their work in cultural economics and related areas.

The series features the latest research from emerging through to well established scholars from around the globe. Presentations showcase a wide variety of research within cultural economics broadly defined in terms of both topic and method.

Each seminar is conceived as a conversation between two (or more) keynote speakers on a current key issue, and corresponding methodological approaches, in cultural economics, in dialogue with other related disciplines (spanning management, political sciences, law, sociology, statistics, philosophy, arts, computer science, engineering, etc.), as well as practice.

Seminars take place live on the second Tuesday of the month, usually at 3 to 4 pm (1 hour, London time) – hours might vary depending on speakers’ time zones – throughout most of the year. Check here for the time in your region.
