“…It raises questions about the societal and cultural factors that may contribute to this bias, including gender stereotypes and expectations about the value of male versus female content. An in‐depth analysis of gender effects, such as Marchenko and Sonnabend (2022) or Throsby et al (2020) for artists, would be interesting to study effects in social media. A balanced data set regarding female and male content creators is needed to explore income (in)equalities in this dynamic and new digital industry.…”

Social media stars gain star‐status with uploads on social media pages like YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram. One of the most popular platforms is “Instagram” owned by Meta/Facebook. The growing social, cultural, and economic power of so‐called influencers raises questions about key drivers of success and, moreover, distribution of income on social media platforms. Instagram has been accused of strategically favoring images with nude content. In order to shed light on this socio‐critical aspect, this paper examines the following research questions: Does body exposure drive income success on Instagram? Is there a difference between male and female content in this regard? This paper empirically analyzes 500 top Instagram stars within the categories (1) fashion and beauty, (2) fitness and sports, (3) music, (4) photo and arts, and (5) food and vegan. The data provide information on popularity, posting behavior, and price estimates per post. Using hybrid regression models, the results show indeed positive impact of body exposure on monetary success. Accounts with high level of body exposure achieve higher prices and advertising revenues than accounts with less nudity, regardless of the gender. Regarding gender differences, male content achieves on average higher advertising prices, whereas female accounts provide more branded content and eventually achieve higher advertising revenues.

“…Second, a majority of our participants were male entrepreneurial artists (80%), so there might be gender differences in the relationships between entrepreneurs' personality and entrepreneurial performance (Hmieleski & Sheppard, 2019). The gender wage gap in artists' labor market should also be considered in measuring economic reward (Marchenko & Sonnabend, 2022). Further study should analyze how gender issues influence the relationship between creative This document is copyrighted by the American Psychological Association or one of its allied publishers.…”

“…There may be cultural bias when the CPS is used in different cultural contexts (Luescher et al, 2019). The gender wage gap in artists’ labor market should also be considered in measuring economic reward (Marchenko & Sonnabend, 2022). Therefore, whether the results revealed by this study can be replicated in other cultural contexts is yet to be supported by additional cross-cultural evidence.…”

The development of the cultural and creative industry has led to an upsurge in entrepreneurial artists, but how a creative personality will contribute to entrepreneurial artists’ success is still unclear. In this present study, we explore the relationship between creative personality and entrepreneurial success, namely economic reward and subjective well-being, among Chinese art entrepreneurs. Furthermore, we tested the mediating role of economic reward on creative personality and subjective well-being. A total of 200 Chinese entrepreneurial artists completed questionnaires assessing their creative personality, economic reward, life satisfaction, and positive and negative emotions. The results showed curvilinear relationships between creative personality and economic reward, positive emotion, and life satisfaction. Furthermore, economic reward mediated the impact of creative personality on subjective well-being. The results have strong theoretical implications for understanding the role of creative personality in entrepreneurial success, as well as the practical implications of improving competence for Chinese entrepreneurial artists in the creative industry to achieve success.

Considerable research has been devoted to understanding the popularity effect on the art market dynamics, meaning that artworks by popular artists tend to have high prices. The hedonic pricing model has employed artists’ reputation attributes, such as survey results, to understand the popularity effect, but the reputation attributes are constant and not properly defined at the point of artwork sales. Moreover, the artist’s ability has been measured via random effect in the hedonic model, which fails to reflect ability changes. To remedy these problems, we present a method to define the popularity measure using the artwork sales dataset without relying on the artist’s reputation attributes. Also, we propose a novel pricing model to appropriately infer the time-dependent artist’s abilities using the presented popularity measure. An inference algorithm is presented using the EM algorithm and Gibbs sampling to estimate model parameters and artist abilities. We use the Artnet dataset to investigate the size of the rich-get-richer effect and the variables affecting artwork prices in real-world art market dynamics. We further conduct inferences about artists’ abilities under the popularity effect and examine how ability changes over time for various artists with remarkable interpretations.
