Apstrakt
Imajući u vidu da „filmski sektor” generiše značajne dugoročne efekte kroz promene u obimu turističkog prometa, značajn broj destinacija nastoji da se pozicionira ka stranim produkcijskim kućama. Kreiranje audiovizuelnog sadržaja u destinaciji kreira i značajne trenutne efekte na ekonomiju zemlje, zbog čega istraživači se sve intenzivnije bave ekonomskim efektima koje fiskalni podsticaji za snimanje filmova i TV serija imaju na ekonomiju zemlje. Cilj istraživanja rada je da utvrdi efekte podsticaja za snimanje filmova, reklama, serija i postprodukciju koja je Srbija odobravala u posmatranom periodu, kao i da utvrdi doprinos predmetnog sektora zaposlenosti u Srbiji. Pored toga, rad daje osvrt i na doprinose zaposlenosti predmetnog sektora u evropskim zemljama, ali i pregled ekonomskih doprinosa. Rad omogućuje razumevanje važnosti sektora za ekonomiju zemlje.
