9. Why might a painting become more cro
valuable after the artist's death?

Answers

Answer:

Read below.

Explanation:

Because the artist if were asked, couldn't make a replica of the painting because they're dead?

Answer:

The average life expectancy for a woman born in 1915, the year that gave us Cuban-American painter Carmen Herrera, was 57 years. At 102, Herrera is now nearly twice that old. According to research economists Robert B. Ekelund and John D. Jackson, she is probably right in the sweet spot to enjoy the “death effect” on prices for her artworks—despite being alive and painting.

Ekelund and Jackson say the death effect—traditionally conceived of as the price bump an artist gets after her death—is actually only observable for living artists, and only in the five years leading up to an artist’s death. In redefining the “death effect,” their research helps explain rising prices for a large cohort of prominent artists reaching advanced ages.

“It has everything to do with the [buyer’s] assessment of whether the artist will overproduce or spoil the market of what they buy,” said Ekelund. “If an artist is 95 years old, you know pretty well that the supply is going to end pretty soon, and the supplier can’t spoil the market.”

In their recent book The Economics of American Art, Ekelund and Jackson, both professors emeritus at Auburn University in Alabama, and the late Robert D. Tollison lay out the case for what could be more accurately called the “betting on a forthcoming funeral effect.” By examining auction records for 17 American post-war artists, they found that, on average, prices rise steadily in the five years preceding an artist’s death, and plummet the year she or he dies.

Read this excerpt from "The Big Shot." In her most recent test, she asked golfers who had just finished playing to find on a chart a black circle that was the same size as a cup on the green. She says, "What we found was that the golfers who scored better selected larger circles," adding that this suggests "that they perceive the hole as bigger." Golfers who didn't score as well chose smaller circles. Which type of image would best help readers understand the study being described and its conclusion? a photograph of a golf course with a bar graph over it showing the numbers of players who chose each black circle and the average scores of each group a drawing of the study’s black circles, each labeled with the number of players who chose it, and the average score of that group of players a photograph of a golf ball and the black circles on the chart, each labeled with its size, next to a dot plot showing each player’s score and chosen circle a drawing of a golf ball and a chart with different size black circles, each labeled with the number of players that chose it and the size of the circle

What is a short-term benefit for a company to regularly keeping wages low?
Employees find high job satisfaction.
Companies can expect a high turn-over.
Employees will become demoralized.
The company can keep costs to a minimum.

Answers

Answer:

The company can keep costs to a minimum.

Explanation:

This is the advantage that such a strategy would have for a company in the short-term. A company that regularly keeps wages low is likely to save money initially. However, this strategy is not a successful one in the long term. Such a company would most likely have employees who are unhappy or unsatisfied with their job. It would also lead to a high turn-over due to employees being demoralized.
