Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Irvine, 1999.

This thesis is a study of the relation between the dynamics of demand and supply and the distribution of box office revenues in the motion picture industry. It presents and tests the stable hypothesis: that the distribution of box office revenues is stable. A set of tools is assembled to diagnose box office revenues and market shares to determine if they are skew stable- or normally distributed. They are shown to be far-from-normally distributed and to be in the class of skew-stable distributions with "heavy" or Paretian tails. The parameter values estimated imply that the variance of box office revenues is infinite. Dynamical processes that generate stable distributions are explored through analytic and simulation methods. The competition for opening screens and the complex dynamics of information cascades are shown to be important factors leading to the stable distribution. These are also the focal points of competition in the industry. In the policy arena, the thesis shows that the use of concentration ratios and the Herfindahl-Hirschman index as a basis for antitrust policy lacks scientific support. The HHI---the second moment of the distribution of firm shares---does not exist, and market shares are volatile and unpredictable, as the stable hypothesis implies.
