Abstract

This article reviews the draft Bill that seeks to creaty a ministry of culture, arts and heritage in Chile from the viewpoint of the economics of institutions. It uses the government failure’s approach to analyze how the draft Bill now being debated by the National Congress addresses the issues of dynamic inconsistency, agency dilemma and state capture that affect different designs of public institutions; and to what extent this represents progress compared to the institutional framework for culture now existing in our country. The authors agree with the main idea of the draft Bill of transferring responsibility to a ministry in order to ensure that culture becomes more a part of the government structure, but they also note several elements that could be improved if the intent is to make government action a main task and minimize inefficiencies in the cultural sector. Along these lines, they make concrete proposals intended to overcome some of the weaknesses found.
