The Price Determinants of Investment Rums
Polanka, Martin ; Baruník, Jozef (advisor) ; Kukačka, Jiří (referee)
This study investigates the pricing determinants of rum and explores its viability as an alternative investment asset. Utilizing a diverse methodological approach, the first inquiry employs Hedonic analysis through Weighted Least Squares, Stepwise regression, Lasso regression, and Bayesian Model Averaging. The second analysis adopts Repeat-sales regression to probe rum's potential as an investment asset. Key findings reveal that aging and reputation emerge as pivotal variables influencing rum pricing dynamics. Further, the study suggests that rum does not align with traditional collectible assets, as its price fails to exhibit consistent appreciation over time. In conclusion, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the factors shaping rum pricing and offers insights into its suitability as an investment asset.

Wimmerová, Tereza ; Kovanda, Lukáš (advisor) ; Rod, Aleš (referee)
Price determinants and presence of adverse selection in Thoroughbred market are extensively explored in foreign countries, but not in Czech Republic and this is the first work on the data of Central European auction of Thoroughbreds. Using hedonic pricing model and a regression analysis has been found on data about 54 horses, that significant price determinants are the year of holding the auction (2008 and 2010), age of horse and its gender, Velka pardubicka steeplechase eligibility, foreign origin and quality of horses's dam. Buyers likely distinguish between two types of sellers and are willing to pay less to those sellers, who likely select adversely, but the significance hasn't been certified. Results of an online form support the results of the model.
