-Hypothesis 1: Controlling for past career success, writers represented by core agencies have substantially better prospects for employment and higher earnㅑngs than do writers represented by noncore agencies.

     * Our first hypothesis regards the consequence for writers' careers of type of agency representation. If agency representation functions  primarily to certify and signal a writer's reputation, then prior career success should largely explain why writers represented by core agencies fare better in the labor market than do writers who lack such representation. In contrast, if core representation represents a kind of agency market power that provides exclusive access to newly packaged projects, then clients of core agencies should fare sub- stantially better in the labor market than do writers with comparable track records but who lack such representation. Our research,  then, differentiates between agencies with the capacity to package new projects ("core" representation) and those that do not ("noncore" representation). We test the following hypothesis:       * Our first hypothesis regards the consequence for writers' careers of type of agency representation.

     * If core agencies have the power to pack- age their clients in new projects regardless of a client's past successes, then the impact of prior career success on employment and earnings should be weaker for clients of core agencies than for writers who lack such rep- resentation. Accordingly, we hypothesize:       * If core agencies have the power to pack- age their clients in new projects regardless of a client's past successes, then the impact of prior career success on employment and earnings should be weaker for clients of core agencies than for writers who lack such rep- resentation. Accordingly, we hypothesize:

     * Finally, the labor market inequalities in the film and television industries generated by differences in types of agency representation may not be neutral with respect to gender, race, and age. Previous research shows that the vast majority of writing for television and feature film is done by white males and that women writers earn significantly less than men throughout their careers (D. Bielby and W. Bielby 1996; W. Bielby and D. Bielby 1992, 1993). Moreover, the expansion of packaging practices by elite agencies coin- cides with a period in which the earnings of writers in their forties and fifties eroded rela- tive to their younger counterparts (D. Bielby and W. Bielby 1993). If women writers, mi- nority writers, and older writers are less likely than young white males to have core agency representation (or any representation at all), then the packaging practices of talent agen- cies may contribute substantially to creating and sustaining stratification by gender, race, and age in the entertainment industry. Ac- cordingly, our models test a third hypothesis:       * Finally, the labor market inequalities in the film and television industries generated by differences in types of agency representation may not be neutral with respect to gender, race, and age.
