Why do people pay millions for art?
Most economics events talk about inflation, trade, or policy.
This one doesn’t.
Join YEN for a different kind of economics conversation — one that explores how value is created, perceived, and competed for in the real world.
We’re excited to welcome Anthony Hurl (art & auction expert), alongside a young academic economist, for an interactive discussion connecting art markets, auctions, and economic behaviour.
What you’ll explore:
What luxury markets reveal about wealth and inequality
How behaviour, emotion, and competition shape decision-making
Why this event is worth your time:
A fresh perspective beyond “standard” economics topics
Real-world applications you don’t get in textbooks
A chance to think like an economist in unexpected settings
Connect with other young professionals and economists in a relaxed environment
This is not a lecture — expect a practical, engaging, and conversation-driven session with audience interaction.
Limited seats – capped at 15 participants
📅 Date: 23rd April, 17:30 -19:00
📍 Location: 429 Pulteney St, Adelaide SA 5000
🎟 Free for ESA and WEN members | $[10] non-members
Open to students, young professionals, and anyone curious about how economics and art.
