L'artistemaudit2.0:l'impactdesTIC sur le revenu des musiciens

We test, on the one hand, whether information nnd dommunication technologies (ICTs))epresent an investment that increases the everage income of artists and, on the other hand, whether ICTs modify the distribution of fhese revenues. We ese an original database from a survey of Associate Musicians ofAdami. We retain two indicators of ICT investment: the use of a home studio and the presence of the artist on the Internet We show that ICT investment increases average income and that income inequality increases with network effects on the Internet but decreases with economies of scale allowed by new technologies.
