Refocusing the CBC
How would the Canadian broadcasting system look if there were no CBC? What would be the programming mix? Would it be deficient, leading to market failure? Digitization, convergence, and the development of the Internet are transforming broadcasting. If there were no CBC, would we create such a public service broadcaster now in a broadcast system where numerous choices, including 64 specialty channels, are available by cable and direct broadcast sa…
Public Service Broadcasting Beyond 2000: Is There a Future for Public Service Broadcasting

Cultural Industries from an Economic/Business Research Perspective
This article reviews, and provides a context for, the cultural industries research carried out by the authors over the last 20 years. This work focuses on the television and feature film industries and uses a micro-economic analysis approach which recognizes the three unusual economic characteristics of feature films and television programs: they suffer a cultural discount when traded across international borders, they are joint consumption goods…
Marketing Movies on the Internet: How Does Canada Compare to the U.S
Canadian filmmakers have had little success competing with Hollywood in the domestic market. Canadian films do not have the marketing budgets needed for the saturation television and newspaper advertising used by the Hollywood majors. But if Canadian film producers and distributors marketed their products as effectively as their Hollywood competitors, they would be expected to be quick to take advantage of a new, relatively low-cost marketing too…

Benefits and drawbacks experienced in each country are reported. The results show that not only do co-production partners in different countries experience different benefits and drawbacks but that many of these differences can be traced to the cultural characteristics of each partner a…

Television in the New Broadcasting Environment: Public Policy Lessons from the Canadian Experience
The new distribution technologies are fostering a new television broadcasting environment with more channels and less regulation. Many nations are concerned that the expansion of viewer choice, and with it the availability of foreign programmes (often US), will inevitably marginalize domestic production. Are there public policy measures that can help maintain a healthy domestic programme production industry in this new environment? In this paper …

The Economic Factors Relating to Canadian Television Broadcasting Policy: A Non-Technical Synthesis of the Research Literature
Communication is a field of study which draws on many disciplines, one of which is economics. Much of the research on the economic aspects of communication, however, has been published in economic or public policy journals, or books often of a technical nature, rather than mainstream communication journals and hence has been relatively inaccessible to non-economist communication scholars. In this article we set out to provide a non-technical synt…

The Role of the CBC in the Canadian Broadcasting System: Revisited
In their paper in this issue, Boardman and Vining agree with the major conclusion of our 1982 paper, namely that the private sector should be deregulated. This conclusion was based on a belief not only that regulation of the private sector of the Canadian broadcasting system has failed to result in a programming performance consistent with the Broadcasting Act of 1968, but that such regulation is doomed to fail in the future, and hence should be …

The Control of Foreign Ownership of Canadian Real Estate
The paper describes the various controls which presently exist over foreign investment in Canadian real estate. These controls take the form of (i) various pieces of provincial legislation regulating the alienation of Crown land (and in some cases private land) to foreigners, (ii) the Land Transfer Tax Act in Ontario, and (iii) certain provisions of the Foreign Investment Review Act. The economic impact of these control measures is analyzed for r…
