More than a thousand regions worldwide have developed their own public agency (Regional Film Commissions - RFCs) to attract film producers through financial and logistic support and exploit the power of movie and series as a tool for promoting local tourist destinations and stimulate the local economies. However, beyond this anecdotal evidence there is no robust empirical evidence about the effectiveness of RFC spending for local tourism boosting. This research note aims to fill this gap by using a dose-response analysis to estimates the effects of regional funds on tourism demand and supply.

Abstract
More than a thousand regions worldwide have developed their own public agency (Regional Film Commissions - RFCs) to attract film producers through financial and logistic support and exploit the power of movie and series as a tool for promoting local tourist destinations and stimulate the local economies. However, beyond this anecdotal evidence there is no robust empirical evidence about the effectiveness of RFC spending for local tourism boosting. This research note aims to fill this gap by using a dose-response analysis to estimates the effects of regional funds on tourism demand and supply.File in questo prodotto:
