We examine in an experiment the causes, consequences and possible cures ofmyopic loss aversion (MLA) for investment … behaviour under risk. We find thatboth, investment horizons and feedback frequency contribute almost equally tothe effects of … MLA. Longer investment horizons and less frequent feedbacklead to higher investments. However, when given the choice …

This note reports a replication study of Falk and Kosfeld’s (2006) medium control treatment.In the experimental game, an agent has an endowment of 120 experimental currency units anddecides how much to transfer to a principal. For every unit that the agent gives up, the principalreceives two...

One-shot interaction and repeated interaction often co-exist in the real world. We study possible behavioral effects of this co-existence in a principal-agent setting, in which a principal simultaneously employs a permanent and a temporary agent. Our experimental results indicate that there is...
