Abstract

At a time of growing interest in economic aspects of media, this edited volume presents a comprehensive and timely set of perspectives on key sectors of media and media infrastructures and related economic questions. Impressive in both scope and depth, this well-informed book guides readers through a compelling set of concepts and issues relevant to an increasingly internationalised contemporary media environment.'- Gillian Doyle, University of Glasgow, UK'This volume offers a comprehensive overview of modern approaches to media economics at a time of remarkable transition to new technologies and new business models.'- Bruce Owen, Stanford University, USMedia industries and services present a complex set of challenges to economic analysis: challenges made more difficult by the technological changes that have been transforming the media sector. Research on the economics of media has made major advances in recent years and has contributed greatly to an increasingly sophisticated understanding of how media are shaped by economic forces, including those unleashed by new technologies. This Handbook examines the variety of contexts and infrastructures in which content is produced and distributed and how these influence the types of media products and services available, their pricing, their consumption and the public policies related to them.The original contributions provide a state-of-the-art guide to the most recent thinking and research findings on the broad range of media-related topics addressed by economics research. Written by leading scholars, this book should be informative and of practical value for advanced students, policy makers, industry professionals, economists, media economists, and other academics.Contributors: N.

Abstract

Recent research demonstrates the importance of what Spiller and Levy (1994, 1996) call a nation's institutional endowment to the efficacy of regulatory policies. We examine various roles of the US Constitution as an enabler of regulatory governance institutions that shape policies towards telecommunications industries, and constrain efforts to change those policies. Constitutional clauses designed to serve important noneconomic societal goals do so by limiting the discretion and efficacy of government bodies. This limits the extent to which regulatory policies may be used to promote economic efficiency. However, these constitutional constraints may also promote long-term efficiency goals by making regulatory commitments more credible.

Abstract

Which handset feature is the most valuable to the customer of a mobile phone? This paper provides a hedonic analysis of mobile handsets in China, using 918 different handset models from 14 manufacturers launched from 2003 to 2008. Both basic and advanced characteristics of mobile handsets are incorporated in the hedonic regression model for measuring the corresponding shadow prices. In supplement to that, specific attention has been given to address the problems such as method to control the instability of the parameter estimation over time and how to measure the heterogeneous characteristics of individual handset for both the manufacturers and customers. According to the estimated results, suggestions are provided for the industrial practitioners at the end of this paper.
