Abstract
We examine the dynamics of the relationships between the prices in Turkish paintings auctions and international art markets during 1990–2005 using cointegration and Granger-causality tests. We also estimate the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) relationship between the Turkish and the global paintings markets. In our investigations, we employ a hedonic price index based on 1030 paintings by 13 Turkish painters and the global paintings market index as calculated by Artprice©. We find that the prices in the Turkish paintings market move in line with the international art markets in the long term. As expected, the direction of causality runs unilaterally from the international paintings market to the Turkish paintings market. The CAPM beta values were found to be unstable over time and not statistically significant at conventional levels. Hence, international art investors might be able to benefit from the higher returns in the Turkish paintings market while diversifying their art portfolios, especially in ...

Art as an investment: short and long-term comovements in major painting markets

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the short and long-term price linkages among major art and equity markets over the period 1976-2001 and found that there is a stationary long-run relationship and significant short-and long run causal linkages between the various painting markets and between the equity market and painting markets.

The Efficiency of the Art Market: Evidence from Variance Ratio Tests, Linear and Nonlinear Fractional Integration Approaches

TL;DR: In this article, the weak-form efficiency hypothesis for the art market is investigated and the authors employ both standard and non-parametric single and joint variance ratio tests while accounting for small sample bias through the use of the wild bootstrapping.

Testing for bubbles in the art markets: An empirical investigation☆

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply a battery of tests to detect explosive behavior in the art markets from 1998 to 2015, and find that the market has been going through some adjustment after the 2008 financial crisis and becoming more sensitive to economic and geopolitical events, with the artworks demonstrating a level of maturity similar to other alternative investment classes.

Dynamic price dependence of Canadian and international art markets: an empirical analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the presence and nature of such time series dependence econometrically, both in terms of long-term trends as reflected in the cointegrating relationship between Canadian and the international market, and in short-run co-movements as represented in correlations.

Sculpture as an alternative investment : an analysis of price dynamics between sculpture and equity and bond markets

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the relationship between the international sculpture market and traditional financial investments during the 1985-2011 period and found that sculpture prices are Granger-caused by gross domestic product per capita.

Testing for a Unit Root in Time Series Regression

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed new tests for detecting the presence of a unit root in quite general time series models, which accommodate models with a fitted drift and a time trend so that they may be used to discriminate between unit root nonstationarity and stationarity about a deterministic trend.

Investigating Causal Relations by Econometric Models and Cross-Spectral Methods

TL;DR: In this article, the cross spectrum between two variables can be decomposed into two parts, each relating to a single causal arm of a feedback situation, and measures of causal lag and causal strength can then be constructed.

Testing the null hypothesis of stationarity against the alternative of a unit root: How sure are we that economic time series have a unit root?

TL;DR: In this paper, a test of the null hypothesis that an observable series is stationary around a deterministic trend is proposed, where the series is expressed as the sum of deterministic trends, random walks, and stationary error.

Likelihood-Based Inference in Cointegrated Vector Autoregressive Models

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed mathematical and statistical analysis of the cointegrated vector autoregresive model is given, with the main emphasis on the derivation of estimators and test statistics through a consistent use of the Guassian likelihood function.

The performance of mutual funds in the period 1945–1964

TL;DR: Jensen's Alpha as discussed by the authors is a risk-adjusted measure of portfolio performance that estimates how much a manager's forecasting ability contributes to the fund's returns, based on the theory of the pricing of capital assets by Sharpe (1964), Lintner (1965a) and Treynor (Undated).
