In this course students learn about the market structure of the
cultural sector.  Among the many questions we try to answer are:
What makes the arts different from other goods and services in the
market place?  What do we know about consumers of the arts, and how
they become informed about different books, films or performances?
What is the system that determines which works of art are exhibited
or published and which fall by the wayside?  Who bears the burden of
the risk in a new venture?
