| Abstract: | This paper analyses the effect of literary prizes and nominations on the subsequent market success using a panel dataset of
Dutch-language titles from January 2003 to June 2005. The analysis indicates winning a prize generally has a positive effect
on the ensuing sales, whereas nominations do not generate additional sales. The precise effect differs depending on the particular
prize. Winning a “home” debut prize has a significant positive effect on sales, and, to a lesser extent, “established” literary
prizes have a significant positive effect on the sales of the winning title, but winning a debut prize in the Netherlands,
the neighbouring country, has no effect on sales in Belgium. |
