For years, I've been working on a textbook on the economics of entertainment and the entertainment industries.
Now that I'm back teaching this course, it is my pleasure to bring you the first (preliminary and incomplete) version of the book.
Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions or corrections or requests by writing to luis.cabral@nyu.edu.
Note: Previously, I posted here some cases on the economics of entertainment, including "Friends and Law & Order" and "The NBA in China."
Please refer to my teaching page.
