Cable and satellite providers often have significant interests in the Regional Sports Networks (RSNs) that jointly coordinate and market the media rights for regional or local sports teams in various U.S. markets. But these markets have a number of features that should factor importantly into competition analysis. For example, there is often limited competition in sports media rights and MVPD markets. Ongoing changes in programming content and packaging, and the bundling of sports and non-sports programming also means that market definition is an important issue. Finally, unique consumer preferences for quality and consistency in sports programming should be considered. The paper argues that changes in the structure of RSN and MVPD markets and non-merger agreements should be closely scrutinized by antitrust and regulatory agencies. This includes mergers at the horizontal MVPD and RSN levels and those that create vertically-integrated content/distribution platforms. Such scrutiny should pay close attention the \"systems competition\" issues raised by the two dominant modes of MVPD--cable and satellite. Both antitrust and regulatory agencies should make full use of remedial conditions in dealing with problematic mergers and the Federal Communications Commission should pursue directives geared toward promoting and maintaining competition in the carriage of sports-related programming.","PeriodicalId":243307,"journal":{"name":"ERPN: Regulation (Topic)","volume":"195 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117097603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study details two prior theoretical models focusing on two aspects of the tax system: (1) the effects of tax policies on the relative risk of the entrepreneurial sector through loss and offsets, and (2) the opportunities for, and benefits of, evasion. Critiquing the theoretical ambiguity of such theoretical models, a model is developed that combines the relative risk framework with evasion opportunities. Using a random effects model, the tax rates the filer would face both as a wage and salary worker and as an entrepreneur are predicted. The data spans from 1979 to 1990, from more than 200,000 tax returns. Employing a duration model and a discrete choice model, the following findings are made: (1) tax rates have important effects on entrepreneurial entry and survival; and (2) decreases in expected marginal tax rates in the wage sector lower the probability of entrepreneurial entry, diminish the survival of existing entrepreneurs, and increase the probability of entrepreneurial exit. The findings are consistent with the predictions of the chosen theoretical model. It is also indicated that entrepreneurs are sensitive to multiple facets of the tax system, including relative tax rates and tax incentives targeted at health insurance. Findings also indicate that tax policy is an effective tool for influencing levels of entrepreneurship in the economy.","PeriodicalId":243307,"journal":{"name":"ERPN: Regulation (Topic)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121044078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
