Fashion changes : the role of the audience in the fashion cycle
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Why do we like the things that we like? Why do our tastes change over time, and why are we unable to predict these changes in advance? Despite a long tradition of research into these questions, it remains notoriously difficult to predict which previously unpopular and unfashionable things will become fashionable or popular tomorrow, and even more difficult to anticipate the reverse. Over the course of three separate but thematically connected empirical studies, I deploy a combination of empirical approaches (agent-based simulation models, a survey experiment, analysis of population-level survey data) and work to uncover demand-side mechanisms and processes relevant to understanding macro-level popularity fluctuations and consumption trends. Altogether, the three studies contribute to ongoing debates regarding the mechanisms governing fashion change.
