Impact of war on individual life-cycle creativity: tentative evidence in relation to composersJournal of Cultural Economics - Tập 37 - Trang 347-358 - 2012
Karol J. Borowiecki, John W. O’Hagan
The relationship between conflict and individual life-cycle artistic output is ambiguous, both a priori and in terms of the evidence. To address this question in relation to composers, we employ a sample of 115 prominent classical composers born after 1800 and attempt to link their annual productivity with the incidence of wars. While the sample is small and the measure of creative productivity li...... hiện toàn bộ
Joke economics: the low profile of comedy in the economics of arts and cultureJournal of Cultural Economics -
Alan Collins
AbstractDespite being a globally significant form of art and culture, the performance of comedy has seemingly maintained a very low profile in cultural economics. The case for greater research scrutiny of this art form is advanced alongside some possible reasons for the relatively low academic attention devoted to comedy. The scope for considering comedy in economi...... hiện toàn bộ

Estimating preferences for the performing arts from referendum votesJournal of Cultural Economics - Tập 43 - Trang 397-419 - 2019
Katharina E. Hofer
The value of the performing arts to the population can be elicited from referendum outcomes. The analyses typically rely on the (strong) assumption of full voter turnout. I show theoretically that when turnout is ignored, coefficients of variables related positively (negatively) to turnout yield upward (downward)-biased coefficients. For an empirical application, I use the example of a 2009 refere...... hiện toàn bộ
Content valuation strategies for digital subscription platformsJournal of Cultural Economics - Tập 45 - Trang 295-326 - 2020
Raoul Kübler, Rouven Seifert, Michael Kandziora
For digital video subscription platforms, creating and managing content portfolios are critical to acquire new customers, retain existing customers, leverage cross-sales, and generate advertising revenues. We treat content portfolios as a form of pure bundling which may vary in composition and attractiveness over time. Therefore, evaluating the value contribution of each content piece is essential...... hiện toàn bộ
“Let’s make lots of money”: the determinants of performance in the recorded music sectorJournal of Cultural Economics - Tập 42 - Trang 287-307 - 2017
Juan D. Montoro-Pons, Manuel Cuadrado-García
This research analyzes the performance of 467 record labels in eight European countries over a period of 13 years (2003–2015). The main goal is to explain a relative measure of profitability in terms of observed variables, although the nature of the dataset also allows us to include non-observed firm and country effects. To this end alternative models are estimated and three main research question...... hiện toàn bộ
