| Abstract: | This study uses the standard deviation, the Gini coefficient, entropy measures and Atkinson's indexes to investigate French regional inequalities for per capita subsidies to the perorming arts, as compared to GDP per worker, from 1992 to 2002. It is shown that while regional disparities remained stable for GDP per worker, they decreased for per capita subsidies to institutions and companies but increased for festivals. State subsidies are less unequal than local grants, so that a balanced decentralisation seems to rely upon some state control. |
