Economics of the careers and works of artists

David Galenson is professor of Economics at the University of Chicago. He has written a series of interesting papers on the economics of the careers and works of artists. While not directly related to intellectual property issues, I enjoyed reading his articles, and thought you all would enjoy them as well.

What follows is a list of his articles, available academically at the SSRN Web site. Prof. Galenson has kindly provided four papers that can be downloaded from this Web page. To obtain his other papers, contact him at the University of Chicago (sogrodow@midway.uchicago.edu).
