Trading Cultural Goods in the Era of Digital Piracy

The issue of digital piracy is a hot button among governments around the world. Piracy rates may significantly affect both internal and international trade of cultural goods.

Analysing an 11-year panel of 25 countries, we find that piracy does affect bilateral trade, but to varying extents.
