it's a fat tail phenomenon - modal work? zero revenue. mickey mouse? star wars?
-
They're going to discount revenues out that far so much that they're going to add less than 1%
-
Not rly - at 95% annual discounting a significant fraction of the net present value is after the 20th year, can't remember how to sum the series tho
-
I'd be surprised. The vast majority of revenues come in the first couple of years.
-
two different things - when are most revenues earned, and how much do they discount future revenue streams. If revenue is constant, first 20 yrs only represent 70% of present value
-
Oh, sure, 30% with constant revenues is reasonable, but nobody ever forecasts constant revenues for these works
-
(and tbh even the revenues they do project that far will probably be discounted more than that. They probably just cut off the model about that far out)
-
I guess what I really mean is a combination of: 1. Almost all the revenues are soon after publication 2. Discounting would be higher for highly variable revenues like this compared to steady revenues like real estate or bonds
