Abstract: 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.

Key words: Self-Sufficiency Ratio, Film Market, Screen Quotas
