New Zealand Economic Papers, 2018, vol. 52, issue 2, 150-169

Abstract: Using hedonic pricing, prices realised at auction are estimated against artwork characteristics for New Zealand for over 27,000 artworks by over 1600 artists. The data-set is larger and more representative of an art market, especially for lower prices, than all other art price studies. The number of works by each artist auctioned over the entire period is a measure of each artist's market presence. Sample selection bias created by unsold artworks is corrected using the Heckit method. Estimation results including the creation of the first New Zealand art price index are presented and interpreted.
