Abstract In this paper, we infer how the estimates of firm value by “optimists” and “pessimists” evolve in response to information shocks. Specifically, examine returns disagreement measures for portfolios short-sale-constrained stocks that have experienced large gains or losses. Our analysis suggests presence two groups, one which overreacts new remains biased over about 5 years, a second grou...

In recent years, several philosophers have argued that their discipline makes no progress (or not enough in comparison to the “hard sciences”). A key argument for this pessimistic position appeals purported fact widely and systematically disagree on most major philosophical issues. paper, we take a step back from debate about philosophy specifically consider general question: How (if at all) wo...

We propose develop normative framework evaluating all as to whether something is case independently their composition—i.e., they are between peers or not. The upshot will be norm which what one should...
