The Economics of Television by Richard Collins,Nicholas Garnham,Gareth Locksley Pdf

How television is to be financed in the last years of this century is a question of major concern to governments, broadcasters and the private sector. The Economics of Television is a detailed examination of the real costs of television production in the United Kingdom and a critical analysis of those political and economic factors that impinge upon broadcasting's future. The book addresses three equally pertinent questions. First, what is the nature of the television market? Second, what is happening to broadcasting costs and why? Third, what is the United Kingdom's role in the internationalization of television and in the international trade of television programmes? The authors review the recent Peacock Committee's Report and its implications for licence fee and advertising revenues, the production costs of television, the internationalization of the television programme market and the overall financing of broadcasting. The broadcasting environment is rapidly changing under the influence of new distribution technologies (such as satellites) and new ideologies (such as the challenge of the private sector to public service authority). Given these new influences, the authors' discussion highlights the imperfectly competitive character of the broadcasting market, the outstanding cheapness of terrestrial broadcasting and the particular economic characteristics of television programmes and other information commodities. The Economics of Television is an essential guide to the finance of television and will be required reading for anyone concerned with the future of broadcasting.

The Economics, Technology and Content of Digital TV by Darcy Gerbarg Pdf

As the world of television moves from analog to digital, political and economic forces are being brought to bear on companies as they attempt to deal with changes occurring in their industries. The impetus for the conversion from analog to digital TV comes from many quarters, including the broadcasting industry, the computer industry, governments, consumer electronics manufacturers, content developers, and the Internet. The widespread acceptance of digital technology in both the home and the workplace account for the ready acceptance of the belief that the move to digital television is an appropriate advancement. Not all authors in this volume however are believers. This book is divided into four sections each dealing with one aspect of the transition from analog to digital TV broadcasting. The first section presents the various technologies. It establishes a structure for understanding the technologies currently in use as well as those being developed by the industries involved in the delivery of digital television. Section two presents information about consumer TV viewing and includes examples of innovative, experimental interactive programs. Economics and financial issues are addressed from a variety of perspectives in section three. Section four concludes the book with a look at the international environment and the history of digital TV globally.

The World Television Industry by Peter Dunnett Pdf

First published in 1990, The World Television Industry uses economic analysis to examine recent changes in the television industry. It uses the theory of public good and a model of industrial organization to identify the major forces determining the nature of the television product in the late twentieth century. The forces of supply and demand for an unusual product - often requiring a 'double' sale, to a consumer and to an advertiser - are examined, as are alternative methods of financing. The all-pervading role of government is discussed at length.

Global Television and Film by Colin Hoskins,Stuart McFadyen,Adam Finn Pdf

This is the first non-specialist introduction to the economics of the contemporary film and television business. This global industry is significant both financially and culturally, and the political economy of its trade is an extremely sensitive issue. Are cultural goods merely entertainmentgoods? And why does the US dominate this territory? The present volume offers a systematic, structured explanation of how the global markets for TV and film operate while also discussing the implications for public policy and business strategy. By listing in detail the economic and culturalcharacteristics related to such trade, the authors provide the tools necessary for the evaluation of international communications issues. They also stress the uniqueness of cultural products and put forth the argument that the economic and cultural development approaches to cultural issues can belargely reconciled.

The Economic Regulation of Broadcasting Markets by Paul Seabright,Jürgen von Hagen Pdf

New technology is revolutionizing broadcasting markets. As the cost of bandwidth processing and delivery fall, information-intensive services that once bore little economic relationship to each other are now increasingly related as substitutes or complements. Television, newspapers, telecoms and the internet compete ever more fiercely for audience attention. At the same time, digital encoding makes it possible to charge prices for content that had previously been broadcast for free. This is creating new markets where none existed before. How should public policy respond? Will competition lead to better services, higher quality and more consumer choice - or to a proliferation of low-quality channels? Will it lead to dominance of the market by a few powerful media conglomerates? Using the insights of modern microeconomics, this book provides a state-of-the-art analysis of these and other issues by investigating the power of regulation to shape and control broadcasting markets.

Economics of Regulation and Antitrust, fifth edition by W. Kip Viscusi,Joseph E. Harrington, Jr.,David E. M. Sappington Pdf

A thoroughly revised and updated edition of the leading textbook on government and business policy, presenting the key principles underlying sound regulatory and antitrust policy. Regulation and antitrust are key elements of government policy. This new edition of the leading textbook on government and business policy explains how the latest theoretical and empirical economic tools can be employed to analyze pressing regulatory and antitrust issues. The book departs from the common emphasis on institutions, focusing instead on the relevant underlying economic issues, using state-of-the-art analysis to assess the appropriate design of regulatory and antitrust policy. Extensive case studies illustrate fundamental principles and provide insight on key issues in regulation and antitrust policy. This fifth edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, reflecting both the latest developments in economic analysis and recent economic events. The text examines regulatory practices through the end of the Obama and beginning of the Trump administrations. New material includes coverage of global competition and the activities of the European Commission; recent mergers, including Comcast-NBC Universal; antitrust in the new economy, including investigations into Microsoft and Google; the financial crisis of 2007–2008 and the Dodd-Frank Act; the FDA approval process; climate change policies; and behavioral economics as a tool for designing regulatory strategies.
