Earnings risk and demand for higher education

Hartog, Joop; Diaz-Serrano, Luis - 2002

We develop a simple human capital model for optimum schooling length when earnings are stochastic, and highlight the pivotal role of risk attitudes and the schooling gradient of earnings risk. We use Spanish data to document the gradient and to estimate individual response to earnings risk in...

Bubbles, crashes and information contagion in large-group asset market experiments

Hommes, Cars H.; Kopányi-Peuker, Anita; Sonnemans, Joep - 2019

We experimentally investigate how price expectations are formed in a large asset market where subjects' only task is to forecast the future price of a risky asset. The realized prices depend on these expectations. We observe small (6 participants) and large markets (about 100 participants). In...

Memory, expectation formation and scheduling choices

Koster, Paul; Peer, Stefanie; Dekker, Thijs - 2014

Limited memory capacity, retrieval constraints and anchoring are central to expectation formation processes. We develop a model of adaptive expectations where individuals are able to store only a finite number of past experiences of a stochastic state variable. Retrieval of these experiences is...

Measuring biases in expectation formation

Peters, Florian; Kucinskas, Simas - 2018

We develop a general framework for measuring biases in expectation formation. The method is based on the insight that biases can be inferred from the response of forecast errors to past news. Empirically, biases are measured by flexibly estimating the impulse response function of forecast...
