The model for price indices we propose allows for correlation with other markets, typically with higher liquidity and high fr...

The model for price indices we propose allows for correlation with other markets, typically with higher liquidity and high frequency trading. Using the new econometric approach, we propose a monthly art market index, as well as sub-indices for impressionist, modern, post-war, and contemporary paintings based on repeated sales at a monthly frequency. The correlations enable us to update the art index via observed transactions in other markets that have a link with the art market.https://www.mdpi.com/1911-8074/13/5/100art indexrepeated salescorrelation
