Abstract: | This article analyses the economic dimension of a set of activities grouped under the heading, Culture and Leisure Industry, from three complementary perspectives: national (Spain), sectoral and regional. Particular emphasis is placed on determining the value added generated by this industry and its contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The study demonstrates that the cultural sector is a productive activity generating wealth in Spain. However, a high degree of heterogeneity is found at both the sectoral and regional levels. Economic activity is led by Performing, Musical and Audiovisual Arts (mainly television) and Publishing and Printing, jointly accounting for about 70% of sales and gross value added. |
