Correlation Neglect in Belief Formation
Enke, Benjamin - 2013
Many information structures generate correlated rather than mutually independent signals, the news media being a prime example. This paper shows experimentally that in such contexts many people neglect these correlations in the updating process and treat correlated information as independent. In...

Noise, Beliefs, and Momentum
Jordan, Steven J. - 2013
We show in a simple framework that momentum trading can exist in equilibrium and momentum trading is profitable. Properties of the model fit the empirics well. First, the model captures in a parsimonious manner both short-term overreaction and long-term reversals. Second, it predicts that...

Network centrality and stock market volatility : the impact of communication topologies on prices
Hein, Oliver; Schwind, Michael; Spiwoks, Markus - In: Journal of finance and investment analysis 1 (2012) 1, pp. 199-232
We investigate the impact of agent communication networks on prices in an artificial stock market. Networks with different centralization measures are tested for their effect on the volatility of prices. Trading strategies diffuse through the different network topologies, mimetic contagion...

Speculative fever : investor contagion in the housing bubble
Bayer, Patrick J.; Mangum, Kyle; Roberts, James W. - 2016
Historical anecdotes of new investors being drawn into a booming asset market, only to suffer when the market turns, abound. While the role of investor contagion in asset bubbles has been explored extensively in the theoretical literature, causal empirical evidence on the topic is virtually...
