Abstract: We study the heterogeneous effects of online video platforms on the sales volume and sales distribution of recorded music. Identification comes from two natural experiments in Germany. In 2009, virtually all music videos were blocked from YouTube as a result of a legal dispute. In 2013, the dedicated platform Vevo entered the market, making videos of a large number of artists available overnight. Our estimates suggest that restricting (enabling) access to online videos decreases (increases) recorded music sales on average by about 5%–10%. We show that the effect operates independently of the nature of video content, suggesting that user-generated content is as effective as official content. Moreover, we highlight heterogeneity in this effect: online music videos disproportionally benefit sales of new artists and sales of mainstream music. Collapse

Abstract: We study whether and under what conditions mobile Internet networks compete with traditional fixed-line Internet networks by examining how the quality of local fixed-line Internet service influences mobile Internet adoption and use. Empirical analysis shows that a 1 megabits per second (Mbps) increase in local fixed-line Internet speed leads to a 14.9% decline in the likelihood of purchasing a mobile data plan. However, we show there are substantial differences in the extent to which users view these channels as competitors based on individual- and location-specific characteristics and the nature of the application. Fixed-line Internet speed has no effect on the use of mobile offline services, such as taking photos or videos, that do not require a real-time Internet connection. Younger users and those who live in areas with lower fixed-line Internet speeds find the channels to be closer competitors.The online appendix is available at https://doi.org/10.1287/isre.2018.0776.
