Benchmarking culture in Europe: A data envelopment analysis approach to identify city-specific strengths

Culture is an integral part of a city's quality of life, a driver of urban change, and a genuine economic sector. To support benchmarking of urban culture and facilitate peer learning amongst policymakers, the European Commission has recently created the ‘Cultural and Creative Cities Index’. While this index builds on a standardised method to aggregate 29 indicators for the 155 selected cities, it is explicitly acknowledged that a ‘gold standard’ for a ‘Cultural and Creative City’ does not exist. Instead, different approaches should be allowed for in capturing cities’ cultural and creative vitality. This is the point of departure for this paper, which employs a Benefit-of-the-Doubt (BoD) modelling approach to allow cities to combine such respect for performance diversity with peer learning and benchmarking. Expert-based weights are used to provide expert-consistent bounds for the shares of key dimensions in a city's final BoD index value. We identify three city clusters, amongst which there are large performance differences. Accordingly, we focus on the within-group identification of peer cities and target values, which we illustrate in more detail for Bilbao, Krak?w and Umeå, towards the formulation of fit-for-purpose policy measures that can support culture-led development.     

On Necessary Optimality Conditions with Higher-Order Complementarity Slackness for Set-Valued Optimization Problems

Set-Valued and Variational Analysis - We aim to establish Karush-Kuhn-Tucker multiplier rules involving higher-order complementarity slackness under Hölder metric subregularity. These rules...     

On a question of Thas on partial 3‐(qn + 1, q + 1, 1) designs

In this note, we answer a question of JA Thas about partial $3$‐ $\left(q^n+1,q+1,1\right)$ designs. We then extend this answer to a result about the embedding of certain partial $3$‐ $\left(q^2+1,q+1,1\right)$ designs into Möbius planes.
