What Determines the Future Value of an Icon Wine?New Evidence from Australia

چکیده
The Australian wine auction market is characterised by large variations in price between different vintages of the same wine, relative to the initial release prices of those wines. This paper addresses the question: to what extent can we anticipate the future price of such icon wines from information available at the time of release? A hedonic model is estimated to explain the variation in price between different vintages of four icon red wines. We show that weather variables and changes in production techniques, along with the age of the wine, have significant power in explaining the secondary market price variation across different vintages of each wine. The results have implications for winemakers in determining the prices they pay for grapes and charge for their wines, and for consumers/wine investors as a guide to the quality of immature icon wines.

متن کاملWhat Enables and Constrains the Inclusion of the Social Determinants of Health Inequities in Government Policy Agendas? A Narrative Review
Background Despite decades of evidence gathering and calls for action, few countries have systematically attenuated health inequities (HI) through action on the social determinants of health (SDH).

This paper explores this challenge through a review of the empirical literature, asking: what factors h...
