Cheap Sex - Explaining the Rise of Sex and Violence on Broadcast Television (with Simon Wilkie and Matt Spitzer)
We propose that the change in the vertical organization of broadcast television brought about by the 1996 telecommunication act explains the dramatic rise in the incidence of sex and violence on television in the period between 1998-2004. Our bargaining model yields nontrivial predictions concerning the differences in the amount of sex and violence shown across networks, and our empirical analysis confirms these predictions, namely that Fox and CBS are more violent on average.
