Our PhD student @CokicMarco is presenting in the SPEECH seminar on trade of Central and Eastern European countries during the Cold War For the countries of the former Eastern bloc, trade did not lead to specialisation. Instead the different economies became more similar over time

1/5 Jonathan Guthrie claims in his @ft article that “It’s bananas to regard art as an investment”. A few thoughts from someone researching art as an investment - a thread🧵 ft.com/content/daf9da5e-3d76…

4/5 I agree that the stock market is often a poor point of comparison. Art is less regulated, less liquid, and less transparent. But that doesn’t equate to art not being an investment. Similar issues exist for VC, PE, and Real Estate.

5/5 It’s true we don’t observe an `objective’ value of art. But again, the comparison to public equity is the issue. Many old paintings are priced based on comparative analysis, as is common practice for VC, M&A, PE, etc. See my research using insurance valuations for instance

Great article about art as investments. Too often media tries to portray art either as a safe asset or a great way to beat market returns. It is neither but that doesn’t make it less interesting to research! ft.com/content/255573c0-b5de… via @ft

The stock market and the art market are, alas, not so different
