| Abstract: | The authors examine how organizations that mediate "life-of-project" employment segment the labor market in a culture industry. Using longitudinal data on writers for television and feature films, the authors examine trends in the extent to which type of agency representation affects writers' employment and earnings. Elite or "core" agencies are those that transcend their role as market brokers between the suppliers and purchasers of writing services by participating actively in the production process. |
