Cultural economics is the application of economic analysis to all of the creative and performing arts, the heritage and cultural industries, whether publicly or privately owned. It is concerned with the economic organization of the cultural sector and with the behavior of producers, consumers and governments in that sector. The subject includes a range of approaches, mainstream and radical, neoclassical, welfare economics, public policy and institutional economics.

The editors and editorial board of the Journal of Cultural Economics seek to attract the attention of the economics profession to this branch of economics, as well as those in related disciplines and arts practitioners with an interest in economic issues. The Journal of Cultural Economics publishes original papers that deal with the theoretical development of cultural economics as a subject, the application of economic analysis and econometrics to the field of culture, and with the economic aspects of cultural policy. Besides full-length papers, short papers and book reviews are also published.

The International Journal of Heritage Studies (IJHS) is the academic, refereed journal for scholars and practitioners from many disciplines with a common involvement in the heritage.

The Journal addresses itself to policy-makers, practitioners, academics and students with a professional interest in the subject. It carries research papers, information on research in progress, comparative studies, polemical articles and book reviews which are likely to be of interest to an international readership. Some editions of the journal include a series of articles designed around particular themes, which may relate to aspecific set of issues, a geographical region or a particular cultural form.

Although the Journal includes some material on the technical aspects of cultural management, the emphasis of the Journal is on cultural policy and politics ( kulturpolitik) , to which it adopts a pluralistic approach. The Historical range is not limited to any given period, but the journal is primarily concerned with material that is relevant to the contemporary world, and which contributes to a fruitful international exchange of ideas.
