Frequently Asked Questions <br />This section answers some common questions about this study and the metholo y <br />used to complete it. <br />How were the 182 participating communities and regions selected? <br />In 2010, Americans for the Arts published a Gall for Participants for communities interested in patticipating in the <br />Ares & Economic Prosperity irstudy. Of the more than 200 participants that expressed interest, 182 agreed to <br />participate and complete four participation criteria: (1) identify and code the universe of nonprofit arts and culture <br />organizations in their study region, (2) assist researchers with the collection of detailed financial and .attendance <br />data from those organizations; (3) conduct audience- intercept surveys at cultural events; and (4) pay a rnodcst <br />Bost- sharing fee (no community was refused participation for an inability to pay). <br />How were the eligible nonprofit arts organizations in each community electcd? <br />Local partner attempied to identify their universe of nonprofit arts and culttire organizations using the Urban <br />Institute's Nntionatl Taxonomy of Exempt Entity (NTEE) codes as a guideline. Eligible organizatipns included <br />those whose primary purpose is to promote appreciation for and understanding of the visual, performing, folk, and <br />media arts. Public arts councils, public presenting facilities car institutions, and embedded organizations that have <br />their own budget also were included if they play a substantial role in the cultural life of the community. For- profit <br />businesses and individual artists are excluded from this study, <br />What type of economic analysis was done to determine the study results:' <br />An input - output analysis model was customized for cacti of the participating communities and reglw to <br />determine the local economic impact their nonprofit arts and culture organizations and arts audiences. }americans <br />for the Arts, which conducted the research, worked with highly regaided economists to design the input - output <br />model used for this study. <br />What other information was collected in addition to the arts surveys? <br />In additicm to detailed expenditure data provided by the sureeyed organizations, extensive wage, labor, tax, and <br />commerce data were collected from local, state, and federal, governments for use in the input- output model. <br />Why doesn't this study use a multiplier? <br />When many people 'hear about an economic impact study, they expect the result to be quantified in what is often <br />called a multiplier or an economic activity multiplier. The economic activity multiplier is an estimate of the <br />number of tames a dollar changes hands within the community (e.g., a Theater pays its actor, the actor spends <br />money at the grocery store, the gmecry store pays the cashier, and so on). It is quantified as one number by which <br />expenditures are multiplied. The convenience of the multiplier is that it is one simple number. Users rarely note, <br />however, that the multiplier is developed by snaking ,gross estimates of the industries within the local economy <br />and does not allow for differences in the characteristics of Use industries. Using an economic activity multiplier <br />usually results in an overestimation of the economic impact and therefore lacks reliability. <br />Affc & r'conofn7Ir Prosy efidyrdV I Afrr'eficans rov tt a Arls 23 <br />
