Institutional Studies In the past few years, museums have begun to look at their economic impact on communities, cities, and regions. In fact, a session has been proposed for the AAM 95 meetings called "Museums are also Good Business: Educating Our Communities." Conducting economic impact studies, however, is difficult. What should the museum "take credit for?" As a behavioral social scientist, I am somewhat skeptical of asking visitors "how important" a museum or exhibition was in the decision to visit a specific community; instead, I prefer to estimate impact based on behavior (i.e., how they spent their time). In addition, it is often difficult to get good data on museum expenditures by locale. In any case, the Smithsonian has just completed an impact study, and others exist out there. My query to the list: Can you send me references to other studies and tell us how to get copies?
