Media Bureau Staff Research Papers Affecting Media Policy and Regulation
The Media Bureau Staff Research Paper Series consists of reports and papers prepared by the professional staff of the Media Bureau, often in collaboration with staff in other organizational units within the Commission or external academic researchers, on topics in media economics, media policy, and media industry developments and performance. The Media Bureau Staff Research Paper Series may include initial research reports, advanced drafts of staff studies, or completed research papers that in some cases have been submitted, or accepted, for publication in academic journals or other external publications. The purposes of this staff paper series include (1) creating awareness of future media policy issues; (2) fostering debate and discussion both within the Commission and external to the Commission among researchers, scholars, media enterprises, other interested parties, and the public generally about future media policy issues prior to the Commission initiating formal inquiries or rulemakings to address and resolve such issues; (3) providing both descriptive and inferential (econometric) empirical studies on aspects of media industry structure, conduct, and performance; and (4) providing conceptual analysis and empirical research in support of ongoing or near term Media Bureau inquiries and rulemakings. The views and professional opinions expressed in any Media Bureau staff research paper are those of the author, or authors, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Media Bureau, Commissioners, or any other Commission staff member or organizational unit within the Federal Communications Commission. Given the preliminary nature of the research reported in some staff research papers, it is advisable to check with the authors before quoting or referencing these papers in other publications. Questions or inquiries about the Media Bureau Staff Research Paper Series should be directed to Tracy Waldon, Chief Economist of the Media Bureau, at (202) 418-0957 or Tracy.Waldon@fcc.gov.
