Abstract:Governments the world over are looking for evidence on the economic effects of copyright law, the more so since the increased emphasis in government growth policy on the role of the creative industries has led to the justification of copyright as a stimulus to the economy. This article summarises the current economic evidence relevant for copyright policy and discusses why it falls short of what is wanted.
