The Effect of Screen Quotas on the Self-Sufficiency Ratio in Recent Domestic Film Markets

This study examined the impact of the screen quota system and other determinants on the self-sufficiency ratio. The regression models show the quota system is not a significant predictor of the self-sufficiency ratio, suggesting the system may not be an effective mechanism to limit the number of foreign film screenings in domestic theaters. Gross domestic product, box office revenue, and production investment were found to be strong predictors, and cultural discount and English-speaking language are not significant determinants.
