Entertainment Industry Economics: A Guide for Financial Analysis

by Harold L. Vogel

In this newly revised book, Harold L. Vogel examines the business economics of the major entertainment enterprises: movies, music, television programming, broadcasting, cable, casino gambling and wagering, publishing, performing arts, sports, theme parks, and toys and games. The seventh edition has been further revised and broadened and differs from its predecessors by restructuring and repositioning the previous Internet chapter, including new material on the economics of networks and advertising, adding a new section on policy implications, and further expanding the section on recent theoretical work pertaining to box-office behaviour. The result is a comprehensive up-to-date reference guide on the economics, financing, production, and marketing of entertainment in the United States and overseas. Investors, business executives, accountants, lawyers, arts administrators, and general readers will find that the book offers an invaluable guide to how entertainment industries operate.

THE BOOK to understand how money flows in the Entertainment industry. Good reference, but the edition I read had data that seemed outdated.

[Nataraj Sindam · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a great way to understand all segments that exist in Entertainment industry. Understand how these segments are valued and evolved over time.

Even an older edition is valuable as it gives a sense of how industry changed over time and a great time stamp comparison with current trends.
