摘要本文回应了一种趋势，即外包主观幸福感计量经济学来证明社会投资回报率（SROI），以证据为基础的政策制定。我们讨论了一个不断发展的生态学的“外部”研究发生“之间”的学术和商业咨询。然后，我们将其作为文化部门的研究方法和咨询浪潮。这种“外部之间”的政策咨询研究新模式不仅介于大学和市场之间，而且还促进了政策部门、政府、媒体和学术界之间的对话。具体来说，它为倡导提供了诱人但有选择性的论点，这些论点通过学术隶属关系声称权威，但没有对其稳健性进行评估。为了批判性地参与斯通所谓的“因果故事”的新兴形式，我们复制了一个公共资助的外部委托SROI模型，该模型主张文化活动对福祉的价值。我们发现，作者的参与和福祉的操作是至关重要的，但他们的关系的代表性问题，他们的估计值得怀疑。本案例研究“重新执行”计量经济学建模国家一级的文化部门调查数据，以揭示的做法，创造规范的专业知识，决策是不严格的。我们的结论是，流体索赔的权威允许实验计量经济学模型和措施，以执行整个文化经济，如果批准。鉴于研究经费结构的变化以及最近对专门知识和公共服务外包的关注，这种新的倡导研究模式需要更密切的学术考虑。
ABSTRACT This paper responds to a trend of contracting out subjective well-being econometrics to demonstrate social return on investment (SROI) for evidence-based policy-making. We discuss an evolving ecology of ‘external’ research taking place ‘between’ the academy and commercial consultancy. We then contextualise this as waves of research methodologies and consultancy for the cultural sector. The new model of ‘external between’ consultancy research for policy is not only placed between the University and the market, but also facilitates discourse between policy sectors, government, the media and the academy. Specifically, it enables seductive but selective arguments for advocacy that claim authority through academic affiliation, yet are not evaluated for robustness. To critically engage with an emergent form of what Stone calls ‘causal stories’, we replicate a publicly funded externally commissioned SROI model that argues for the value of cultural activities to well-being. We find that the author’s operationalisation of participation and well-being are crucial, yet their representation of the relationship problematic, and their estimates questionable. This case study ‘re-performs’ econometric modelling national-level survey data for the cultural sector to reveal practices that create norms of expertise for policy-making that are not rigorous. We conclude that fluid claims to authority allow experimental econometric models and measures to perform across the cultural economy as if ratified. This new model of advocacy research requires closer academic consideration given the changing research funding structures and recent attention to expertise and the contracting out of public services.
