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...

Predicting the unpredictable : new experimental evidence on forecasting random walks
Te, Bao; Corgnet, Brice; Hanaki, Nobuyuki; Riyanto, … - 2022
We investigate how individuals use measures of apparent predictability from price charts to predict future market prices. Subjects in our experiment predict both random walk times series, as in the seminal work by Bloomfield & Hales (2002) (BH), and stock price time series. We successfully...

Underpricing of initial public offerings in experimental asset markets
Füllbrunn, Sascha; Neugebauer, Tibor; Nicklisch, Andreas - 2019
The underpricing of initial public offerings is a well-documented fact of empirical equity market research. Theories explain this underpricing with market imperfections. We study three empirically relevant IPO mechanisms under almost perfect market conditions in the laboratory: a stylized book...

Does risk sorting explain bubbles?
Kiss, Hubert J.; Kóczy, László Á.; Pintér, Ágnes; … - 2019
A recent stream of experimental economics literature studies the factors that contribute to the emergence of financial bubbles. We consider a setting where participants sorted according to their degree of risk aversion trade in experimental asset markets. We show that risk sorting is able to...

Anchoring in experimental asset markets
Baghestanian, Sascha; Walker, Todd B. - 2015
We investigate the relationship between anchoring and the emergence of bubbles in experimental asset markets. We show that setting a visual anchor at the fundamental value (FV) in the first period only is sufficient to eliminate or to significantly reduce bubbles in laboratory asset markets. If...

Compensation schemes, liquidity provision, and asset prices : an experimental analysis
Baghestanian, Sascha; Gortner, Paul; Massenot, Baptiste - 2015
In an experimental setting in which investors can entrust their money to traders, we investigate how compensation schemes affect liquidity provision and asset prices. Investors face a trade-off between risk and return. At the benefit of a potentially higher return, they can entrust their money...

Thar she blows again : reducing anchoring rekindles bubbles
Baghestanian, Sascha; Walker, Todd B. - 2014
We investigate the relationship between anchoring and the emergence of bubbles in experimental asset markets. We show that setting a visual anchor at the fundamental value (FV) in the first period only is sufficient to eliminate or to significantly reduce bubbles in laboratory asset markets. If...

Price bubbles sans dividend anchors : evidence from laboratory stock markets
Hirota, Shin'ichi (contributor); Sunder, Shyam (contributor) - 2005
We experimentally explore how investor decision horizons influence the formation of stock prices. We find that in long-horizon sessions, where investors collect dividends till maturity, prices converge to the fundamental levels derived from dividends through backward induction. In short-horizon...

Lambrecht, Marco; Oechssler, Joerg; Weidenholzer, Simon - 2023
Robo-advisors are novel tools in financial markets that provide investors with low-cost financial advice, usually based on individual characteristics like risk attitudes. In a portfolio choice experiment running over 10 weeks, we study how much investors benefit from robo advice. We also study...
