Cognitive Biases, Ambiguity Aversion and Asset Pricing in Financial Markets∗
The behavior of agents in financial markets often displays biases or errors; for example, agents frequently do not compute probabilities correctly. However, we argue that these biases/errors are not always reflected in prices. In particular, we hypothesize that agents who make errors in computing probabilities lose confidence in their probability estimates when they face market prices that are ...
متن کاملAsset-asset interactions and clustering in financial markets
The collective phenomena of a liquid market is characterized in terms of a particle system scenario. This physical analogy enables us to disentangle intrinsic features from purely stochastic ones. The latter are the result of environmental changes due to a ‘heat bath’ acting on the many-asset system, quantitatively described in terms of a time dependent effective temperature. The remaining intr...
متن کاملFinancial Frictions and Segmented Asset Markets
This issue is devoted in large part to summaries of the sessions of our conference on “Financial Frictions and Segmented Asset Markets.” Different approaches have been used to incorporate financial market imperfections into tractable general equilibrium models, emphasizing different frictions in asset markets: lack of commitment in financial contracts, limited participation and market segmentat...
متن کاملHerding and Speculation in Experimental Asset Markets
I conduct an experiment to observe individual traders beliefs and desired behavior in a partial-equilibrium asset market. Isolated traders trade a risky asset in a market with exogenous prices. The price series exhibits a "bubble," diverging strongly from the expected dividend yield. Before trading, traders predict the assets price in the upcoming period, the price in the nal period, and the...
متن کاملMomentum and Overreaction in Experimental Asset Markets
Price volatility and investor overreactions are commonplace in experimental asset markets. Understanding the price dynamics in these markets is crucial for designing successful new trading institutions. We report on a series of experiments to test the predictions of a new momentum model using a dynamical systems approach. This model is then pitted against several standard models to predict pric...
