The relevance of present consumption bias on personal finance has been confirmed in several studies and has important theoretical and practical implications. It has important, measurable implications when analyzing commitment or self-control, adherence to healthy habits (e.g. exercising or...

When choosing a particular alternative from a number of financial assets, risk is an important feature. According to the classic Capital Assets Pricing Model (CAPM), we would expect to receive a positive correlation between risk and return of financial assets. However, studies show that...

This paper proposes a tractable way to model boundedly rational dynamic programming. The agent uses an endogenously simplified or "sparse" model of the world and the consequences of his actions, and act according to a behavioral Bellman equation. The framework is applied to some of the canonical...

We study the behavioral dynamics of limit orders in simultaneous experimental call-auction markets with multiple multiperiod lived securities. As analytical decision variable we use excess bids; the number of submitted bids minus the number of offers. The feedback variable is (excess) return....

We analyze a simple model of an asset market, in which a large rational trader interacts with “noise speculators” who seek short-run speculative gains, and become active following a prolonged episode of mispricing relative to the asset’s fundamental value. The model gives rise to price...

Given any observed demand behavior by means of a demand function, we quantify by how much it departs from rationality … correcting matrix that would yield a Slutsky matrix with its standard rationality properties (symmetry, singularity, and negative … semidefiniteness). A useful classification of departures from rationality is suggested as a result. Variants, examples, and …
