Imaginary ego boosts is always better than having to pay them more.

  Is there any evidence that they aren't imaginary? For example, does be listed early in one project, lead to improved likelihood of getting a better placement on the next project (with corresponding higher future pay)? If that is the case, then the perception that one is a "star" or whatever, with credit order, mind correlate with future success. Of course, that correlation might be independent of credit-order placement (such as the actor is actually better in the movie and would be perceived as such even without credit order placement).

    It's almost as if nobody has heard of the term "top billing". It's not any different than deciding whose name goes on the marquee, on the poster, etc
