It was great working with the colleagues from ULB on this pièce. It's based on our work in ALGEPI . We had to be synthetic for the comparison of AI's impact on journalists in Belgium, France and Spain but this will be developed in forthcoming publications. Check out www.algepi.com

Spano with an event study design of the impact of film releases on book sales.
There is a positive, significant impact of film releases on the probability to appear on bestseller lists. There is also a small negative effect 6 months after the release

Piovesan behind the success of books: from cultural concentration to capitalistic concentration. In French context.
