Complementando o post do Ari...

O paper parece não estar online, mas eu já tive uma cópia do mesmo algum dia. E é ótimo de se ler. Principalmente se você acha que conhece a restrição orçamentária não-linear...

Published or Forthcoming Papers of Alexander Tabarrok: "An Economic Theory of Avant-Garde and Popular Art, or High and Low Culture
(may be minor differences with published version)

ABSTRACT: Artists face choices between the pecuniary benefits of selling to the market and the non-pecuniary benefits of creating to please their own tastes. We examine how changes in wages, lump sum income, and capital-labor ratios affect the artist's pursuit of self-satisfaction versus market sales. Using our model of labor supply as a guide, we consider the economic forces behind the high/low culture split, why some artistic media offer greater scope for the avant-garde than others, why so many artists dislike the market, and how economic growth and taxation affect the quantity and form of different kinds of art.
