【摘要】 This study employs a new data set from art auctions to examine the relationship among market sentiment, auctioneer price estimates, buyer optimism and asset returns. We find that auctioneer tends to provide rosier presale price estimates during high sentiment periods and this bias is more pronounced for high price paintings. Buyers also tend to pay more above price estimates during high sentiment periods. High price estimates, however, are associated with adverse future returns. We also discover that art returns display strong long term mean reversion. These results are consistent with the view that auctioneer price estimates are affected by agency problems and some buyers are more credulous during high sentiment periods.
