Cultural Industries: Product–Market Characteristics, Management Challenges and Industry Dynamics (2015, unknown): “Some cultural industries researchers emphasize the selection system cultural goods need to pass through to reach audiences (e.g. Hirsch 1972), while others highlight the inherent uncertainty concerning the success potential of any cultural good when they do so (e.g. De Vany 2004).”
EVALUATIVE SCHEMAS AND THE ATTENTION OF CRITICS IN THE U.S. FILM INDUSTRY. (2005, background): “The number of screens a film opens on has been found to be a significant predictor of film revenue (Eliashberg and Shugan, 1997; De Vany, 2004), and thus can be expected to influence critical attention.”
Audience Heterogeneity and the Effectiveness of Market Signals: How to Overcome Liabilities of Foreignness in Film Exports?

Balancing the Tensions Between Rationalization and Creativity in the Video Games Industry (2007, background): “The film industry’s maturation was accompanied by certain film genres becoming design standards, with films within those genres accounting for most of the industry’s revenue (De Vany 2004, Epstein 2005).”
Uniform Prices for Differentiated Goods: The Case of the Movie-Theater Industry (2007, unknown): “Demand uncertainty is the most studied characteristic of the motion-picture industry (Caves, 2000; De Vany, 2004; Goldman, 1984) and perhaps the most mentioned explanation for uniform pricing, although it applies only to the movie puzzle.”
The Economics of Movies: A Literature Survey (2012, unknown): “1 See, for example, Caves (200), De Vany (2004), Litman (1998), Moul (2005), Squire (1992), and Vogel (2007) 2 There is something of a grey line between much of the marketing and economic literature on motion pictures. This study discusses in detail only a small number of the (many) marketing papers”
