This volume emphasizes the economic aspects of art and culture, a relatively new field that poses inherent problems for economics, with its quantitative concepts and tools. Building bridges across disciplines such as management, art history, art philosophy, sociology, and law, editors Victor Ginsburgh and David Throsby assemble chapters that yield new perspectives on the supply and demand for artistic services, the contribution of the arts sector to the economy, and the roles that public policies play. With its focus on culture rather than the arts, Ginsburgh and Throsby bring new clarity and definition to this rapidly growing area. - Presents coherent summaries of major research in art and culture, a field that is inherently difficult to characterize with finance tools and concepts - Offers a rigorous description that avoids common problems associated with art and culture scholarship - Makes details about the economics of art and culture accessible to scholars in fields outside economics

'In contrast to patent law, copyright law has been rather neglected by economists, and the book edited by Gordon and Watt will go a distance toward righting the balance. The topics are varied, the economic analysis in them both rigorous and accessible.' - Richard A. Posner, United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and University of Chicago Law School, US 'A valuable and intelligent compendium of analyses of an issue that is likely to prove increasingly crucial for economic efficiency and the general welfare. To those not conversant with the literature, the book is full of surprising and stimulating insights and analytic avenues. It takes us well beyond the obvious tradeoff between the benefits of stimulus of creativity and ease of dissemination that is the central issue, but by no means the only important issue for rules designed to protect intellectual property.' - William J. Baumol, New York University and Princeton University, US Presenting a selection of innovative research contributions written by some of the best-known academics in the field, The Economics of Copyright covers issues that are at the forefront of the implementation and management of copyright.
