The economics of copyright

SABIP commissioned Christian Handke of Erasmus University, NL, to explore the existing theoretical and empirical literature on the economics of copyright and digitisation.

The report summarises key findings in the literature to date, and identifies gaps as well as area for future research for SABIP or others to take forward. SABIP is now reviewing which research projects to take forward.

The report PDF document(1.61Mb) (102 pages) was published in May 2010. An executive summary PDF document(296Kb) is also available.
