Abstract

This article tests whether the labor supply behavior for Korean artists holding multiple jobs is consistent with the prediction of the work-preference model suggested by Throsby. Specifically, we break artists down into performing artists and creative artists and compare the difference in the labor supply behavior, adding control variables for economic incentives and artistic reputation. Our result shows that the work-preference model is not completely supported by Korean artists engaged in multiple job holding, and is more likely to be consistent with creative artists than with performers. Furthermore, for economic incentives, artists faced with the increasing income of household members decrease both art and non-art work hours, while most artists who receive subsidies increase their art work hours, with the exception of creative artists. As for artistic reputation, experience in international artistic activities and holding copyright leads to more time allocation for art work.
