LeGates & Tony Oettinger" <pirprvws@fas.harvard.edu> Subject: Listening to Uncertainty in the Music Business: Fat Tails and Resilience Greetings, We would like to announce the posting on our website of a new paper. Longstaff, P. H., and Joseph Steinhardt <http://www.pirp.harvard.edu/publications/pdf-blurb.asp?id=626>Listening to Uncertainty in the Music Business: Fat Tails and Resilience [44 pages; January 2011/Incidental Paper] The music industry has things to teach any other industry enduring a time of high uncertainty. Understanding the music business is now important to computer and telecommunication companies in particular, because recorded music is increasingly a large part of their business. This paper builds on an earlier PIRP Research Report that looked at the resilience of the movie business. It describes new ideas about the resilience in many systems and tests these ideas by looking at music sales data and interviewing executives and other experts in the music industry.
