Can Economic Theory Explain Piracy Behavior?

In English

Författare

Summary, in English

This paper investigates if economic theory can explain variations in piracy behavior between individuals and between countries. It is demonstrated that economic theory explains a notable part of the individual variation in a survey study. Individuals with a low net valuation of an original when a copy is available are more prone to engage in piracy than individuals with a higher valuation. Individuals with a low cost of obtaining and handling copies are also

more engaged in piracy. The country-wise variation can also be explained by economic variables; GNI/capita and judicial eciency explain a substantial part of this variation.
