Recent Trends in the Economics of Copyright
Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-84720-045-7 (ISBN)
It is widely recognised that many copyright issues are also economic issues. As a result the level of interest in the economics of copyright continues to grow. This carefully edited book presents a selection of the most important recent contributions to a wide range of economic topics on copyright. These include the copyright term, infringement issues, administration of copyright, incentives to artists and open source. There is relevance here for a wide readership, from teachers and students of economics, law, cultural and media studies to practitioners and policymakers.
Edited by Ruth Towse, Professor of Economics of Creative Industries, CIPPM, Bournemouth University and CREATe Fellow in Cultural Economics, University of Glasgow, UK and Richard Watt, Associate Professor of Economics and Finance, University of Canterbury, New Zealand
