| dc.description.abstract | The late 2000’s were a period of major technological innovation in the cinematographic
industry, since digitization affected the entire value chain, ranging from production to
distribution and exhibition activities. This paper focuses on the effect of digitization on
exhibition by studying the impact of digitizing a screen on ticket sales. I perform a
difference-in-differences estimation, exploiting the fact that not all screens were
digitized simultaneously. Variability along time and between screens allows us to
identify a causal effect. I find that digitized screens sell on average 22.2% more tickets.
Furthermore, this effect was mostly attributable to 3D screens, given that 2D screens did
not have a statistically significant effect on ticket sales. | |
