ECON 3050: The Economics of Art, Entertainment and Culture

Not available for credit in the major: may be used as a non-major elective depending on program.

Each year Americans spend at least 120 billion hours and over $150 billion on legal forms of entertainment. In spite of this, the economics of the sector are often misunderstood. This course examines the economics of the major entertainment enterprises: the performing arts and other fine arts, movies and television programming, commercial music, broadcasting, cable television, casino gambling, and more. In addition to the basic facts and economic characteristics of these industries, the course discusses how the sector is impacted by the macroeconomy and public policy. (3 credit hours)
