Abstract
ABSTRACT**: This paper tests the crowding‐out hypothesis for a balanced panel of nonprofit performing arts organizations between 1998 and 2003. This research uses a number of model specifications and estimating techniques to appropriately capture the relationship between government grants and private donations. Under alternative specifications, the relationship between government grants and private donations suggests crowding‐in between $0.14 and $1.15. The crowd‐in relationship does change according to art type: symphony orchestras and music companies experience a modest crowd‐in while dance and ballet companies experience a small crowd‐out. Although the crowd‐in falls to zero under the strictest condition, there is a lack of evidence of crowd‐out for nonprofit performing arts organizations as a group.
