First, we consider skill-biased technological change as a determinant of income and labor market outcomes in the arts. Arguably, the IT revolution has changed the demand for certain skills, with creative occupations being more in demand than general employment. Second, we consider declines in the costs of generating new works and artistic experimentation due to digital technologies, and their effect on the barriers to entry in labor markets. Third, we touch upon the rise of online contract labor in certain creative professions as a determinant of income. Here, online platforms can change creators' access to work opportunities and it may alter the way income is distributed. We find that wage trends for creative workers in the digital age outperform general trends in the population: based on various data sources and various ways to identify creators, we see creators losing less or even gaining a better income position in relative terms. From a policy perspective, results do not lend support to the idea that creators' income situation has systematically worsened with the rise of the internet and its intermediaries. Evidence on changing distributions of income is ambiguous as trends differ from one country to the next. 000029073 542__ $$fLicense: CC BY 3.0 IGO 000029073 650_0 $$aInternet$$xLaw and legislation. 000029073 650_0 $$aCopyright 000029073 7001_ $$aCuntz, Alexander. 000029073 830_0 $$aEconomics Working Papers. 000029073 8564_ $$917af8329-d218-4f0a-89e9-2953c30c89c8$$s2996586$$zComplete document (PDF)$$uhttps://tind.wipo.int/record/29073/files/wipo_pub_econstat_wp_49.pdf 000029073 901__ $$aWIPO/PUB/ECONSTAT/WP/49 000029073 902__ $$a4372_en 000029073 903__ $$aEconomics working papers 000029073 904__ $$aBook 000029073 909CO $$ooai:tind.wipo.int:29073$$pWIPOPUB 000029073 980__ $$aWIPOPUB$$aERWP
