Based on the model proposed by Hui and Png (Am Econ Rev 92(2):217–220, 2002), this article provides evidence of the relationship between Oscar awards and movie production. Panel data including 53 countries for the period 2005–2017 are used. Estimation results for the full sample show a positive relationship between Oscar wins and movie production. The results across subsamples reveal that Oscar wins in the category of “Best Foreign Language Film” (BFLF) and nominations in the four major categories (best picture, actor, actress and director) are positively correlated with movie production for a sample of middle-income countries. Strikingly, the estimations show a negative correlation between movie production and nominations in the BFLF category for high-income countries. The results are fairly robust to the introduction of control variables and different estimation methods.

基于Hui和Png提出的模型（Am Econ Rev 92（2）：217-220，2002），本文提供了奥斯卡金像奖与电影制作之间关系的证据。使用的面板数据包括2005-2017年期间的53个国家。完整样本的估计结果显示，奥斯卡奖和电影制作之间存在正相关关系。各个子样本的结果表明，奥斯卡在“最佳外语电影”（BFLF）类别中获胜，而在四个主要类别（最佳影片，演员，女演员和导演）中的提名与中档样本的电影制作成正相关。收入国家。令人惊讶的是，对于高收入国家，估算值显示电影制作与BFLF类别的提名之间呈负相关。
