Frequently Asked Questions <br />How were the 341 participating communities and regions selected? <br />In 2015, Americans for the Arts published a Call for Participants for communities interested in participating in the <br />Arts & Economic Prosperity 5 study. Of the more than 300 participants that expressed interest, 250 agreed to <br />participate and complete four participation criteria: (1) identify and code the universe of nonprofit arts and cultural <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 modest <br />cost-sharing fee (no community was refused participation for an inability to pay). Thirty of the 250 partners <br />included multiple regions as part of their participation (e.g., a county as well as a city located within the county); <br />as a result, the 250 local, regional, and statewide partners represent a total of 341 participating study regions. <br />How were the eligible nonprofit arts organizations in each community selected? <br />Local partners attempted to identify their universe of nonprofit arts and cultural organizations using the Urban <br />Institute's National Taxonomy of Exempt Entity (NTEE) codes as a guideline. Eligible organizations included <br />those whose primary purpose is to promote appreciation for and understanding of the visual, performing, folk, and <br />media arts. Government-owned and government -operated cultural facilities and institutions, municipal arts <br />agencies and councils, private community arts organizations, unincorporated arts groups, living collections (such <br />as zoos, aquariums, and botanical gardens), university presenters and cultural facilities, and arts programs that are <br />embedded under the umbrella of a non -arts organization or facility (such as a hospital or church) also were <br />included if they play a substantial role in the cultural life of the community. For-profit businesses and individual <br />artists are excluded from this study. <br />What type of economic analysis was done to determine the study results? <br />An input-output economic analysis was customized for each of the participating study regions to determine the <br />economic impact its nonprofit arts and cultural organizations and arts audiences. Americans for the Arts, which <br />conducted the research, worked with highly regarded economists to design the input-output models. <br />What other information was collected in addition to the arts surveys? <br />In addition to detailed expenditure data provided by the surveyed organizations and cultural attendees, researchers <br />and economists collected extensive wage, labor, tax, and commerce data provided by the U.S. Department of <br />Commerce (County Business Patterns, the Regional Economic Information System, and the Survey of State and <br />Local Finance), as well as local and state tax data for use in the input-output analyses. <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 times a dollar changes hands within the community (e.g., a theater pays its actor, the actor spends <br />money at the grocery store, the grocery 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 making gross estimates of the industries within the local economy <br />AMERICANS FOR THE ARTS I Arts & Economic Prosperity 5 27 <br />
