Dynamics of the global fine art market prices

This article examines the short- and long-run linkages among art market indexes between 1998 and 2016 using cointegration procedures, the Granger noncausality test and the Error Correction Model. These art indexes are examined by category: global, art method, time, and currency/country. The results indicate that there are a few causal linkages between art market indexes, notably that there is feedback between a few markets. These moderate causal links between art market indexes would indicate that there are many opportunities for diversification for practitioners, investors and collectors.
