- A Neural Predictor of Cultural Popularity (2012, unknown): “500,000 units) in our sample, underscores the difficulty in evaluating a hit-predictor and confirms the previously noted shift toward superstars (Krueger, 2005).”
- Talent and/or Popularity: What Does It Take to Be a Superstar? (2012, unknown): “Empirical tests of the different driving forces of superstar salaries have proved to be very difficult because an objective measure of a star’s talent is often hard to find and even harder to quantify (Krueger 2005).”
- Web-based experiments for the study of collective social dynamics in cultural markets (2009, unknown): “…of users in the independent condition is, by definition, unaffected by the behavior of others, it provides a natural measure of preexisting population preferences—something that has also proven difficult to measure convincingly in previous studies of cultural markets (Hamlen, 1991; Krueger, 2005 ).”
- Don't Think Twice, It's All Right: Music Piracy and Pricing in a DRM-Free Environment (2010, background): “…shows that as DRM restrictions are lifted and music availability increases, the price of complementary goods (e.g., concerts) also increases, thus enhancing “sales” and revenues for many artists (Krueger 2005; Mortimer and Sorensen 2005; Schulz 42 / Journal of Marketing, March 2010 2009).”
- Artistic Labor Markets: Contingent Work, Excess Supply and Occupational Risk Management (2006, unknown): “A striking example is provided by Krueger’s study of the market for rock concerts (2005). Uniqueness of sound and style of a rock band, when successfully meeting the consumer demand, provides it with a monopoly power.”
