The Marketization Degree of Performing Arts Industry in China: a Provincial and Typological Analysis

The performing arts industry undergoes a gradual marketization process in China, promoted by the Chinese government through a series of industrial policies. In this paper, we evaluate provincial and typological marketization degree of performing arts industry in China by using an index model and the method of grey fixed weight clustering. Both provincial marketization degree and typological marketization degree are divided into three grey classes: high grey class, middle grey class and low grey class. And the clustering results are in-depth analyzed; especially the reasons of different marketization degree in dfferent regions and artistic types are explored. And some policy implications are discussed.
