Abstract
An expanding market and rising employment characterise the arts in Britain. In 1984 they contributed 1.28 per cent of GDP in terms of value added and occupied fourth place in the table of invisible earners; only banking, travel, and shipping brought in more from overseas customers.
This chapter is based on John Myerscough, The Economic Importance of the Arts in Britain (Policy Studies Institute, 1988).
