Student thesis: Master's Dissertation

Abstract

This dissertation will study the impact of the global art market and cultural initiatives on economic development. There is an emphasis on Qatar's cultural landscape. It will scrutinize the relationship between cultural investments and art market growth variables with the key economic development indicator- tourism revenue. Panel data from 2012 to 2023 have been employed. The study has put into application correlation analysis, regression models, and hypothesis testing for scrutinizing the magnitude of factors that influence tourism revenue. The findings accentuate the positive impact of art and cultural initiatives in driving economic growth. This has reinforced the noteworthiness of policy support, investment diversification, and digital transformation in sustaining Qatar’s long-term economic as well as art and cultural development.
