Abstract
PULIDO-PAVON, Noemí; PALMA-MARIOS, Luis and AGUADO, Luis F.. Copyright. Economic approach, historical evolution and current perspectives. Rev.econ.inst. [online]. 2016, vol.18, n.35, pp.151-169. ISSN 0124-5996. https://doi.org/10.18601/01245996.v18n35.08.
Even though copyright is an institution which dates back to the 18th century, the economic analysis of copyright is relatively new; paradoxically it was not until 1934 with Plant’s work when copyright economics started to emerge as a specialized field. This paper aims to draw an historical outline of copyright economics as a new area of economic analysis, focusing on its dilemmas and approaches, as well as on the main challenge for this institution in the digital era, unauthorized copy.
Keywords : Copyright; economics of copyright; economics of copying; intellectual property.
