From Copyright EVIDENCE

This field includes studies that examine the connection between copyright protection (e.g. subject matter, term, scope) and economic performance (e.g. supply, economic growth, welfare). Papers in this category often link different legal and institutional settings to economic performance (e.g. through historical counterfactuals) and also may examine non-IP markets (e.g. recipes, jokes, formats, fashion).
