Hollywood Economics
Just how risky is the movie industry? Is screenwriter William Goldman's claim that "nobody knows anything" really true? Can a star and a big opening change a movie's risks and return? Do studio executives really earn their huge paychecks? These and many other questions are answered in Hollywood Economics. The book uses powerful analytical models to
Bose-Einstein Dynamics and Adaptive Contracting in the Motion Picture Industry
Audiences discover what films they like and spread the word. Information feedback produces Bose-Einstein dynamics in the motion picture box office revenue distribution. Information cascades generate box office 'hits' and 'flops.' The revenue distribution evolves recursively over the 'run' as a mixture of the 'opening' and a stochastic competition among films. The motion picture run is decentralized, adaptive, and self-organizing: semistationary a…
Zoning, Returns to Scale, and the Value of Undeveloped Land
When land markets are incomplete, parcels can be scaled to make control compatible with use and to internalize externalities. The authors show that an arbitrage-proof equilibrium implies an increasing and strictly concave relationship between the value and size of land parcels. Undeveloped land sales in southern California strongly confirm the theoretical relationship. The authors find that zoning primarily restricts the conversion of land from a…
Land Tenure Structures and Fertility in Mexico
The nature of the relationship between land tenure and fertility in an important contemporary setting is examined. Examination of the institutional structure of the Mexican land tenure system reveals some features that could have a positive impact on fertility. The possible pronatalist bias of the system is identified and discussed and the hypothesis that the population in the land reform sector exhibits higher fertility than other comparable pop…
Uncertainty, Waiting Time, and Capacity Utilization
The behavior of a monopoly is analyzed in the following setting. Search creates a stochastic stream of customers. Searchers observe the queue and leave if it is too long. Production is random. In the optimal solution, waiting time, effective demand, and the utilization of capacity are jointly determined. Product quality in the form of waiting time is endogenous to the model, and it is found that price or capacity changes affect both the quantity …
The Revealed Value of Time in Air Travel
THIS PAPER DEMONSTRATES A NEW REVEALED PREFERENCE APPROACH TO VALUATING TIME. THE FULL-PRICE DEMAND FUNCTIONS, WHEREIN DEMAND DEPENDS UPON THE SUM OF MONEY PRICE AND TIME COST, MAY BE OBTAINED FROM NEOCLASSICAL DEMAND THEORY WITHOUT RESORTING TO THE USE OF LEISURE, OR THE CONSUMER PRODUCTION FUNCTIONS OF THE BECKER MODEL. THE RESTRICTIONS ON THESE DEMAND FUNCTIONS PROVIDE AN INDIRECT MEANS OF ESTIMATING THE VALUE OF TIME. IN THE EMPIRICAL SECTION…
