Abstract

En 中文
An artist's death constitutes a negative shock to his future production; death permanently decreases the artist's float. We use this shock to test predictions of speculative trading models with short-selling constraints. As predicted in our model, we find that an artist's premature death leads to a permanent increase in prices and turnover; this effect being larger for more famous artists. We document that premature death increases prices (by 54.7%) and secondary market volume (by 63.2%).
