The delay effect, that people discount the near future more than the distant future, has not been verified rigorously. An experiment conducted by us in China confirms that, by separating the delay from the interval, the delay effect exists only within a short delay. The results are reliable,...

This paper examines Chinese students' risk attitude using buying and selling experiments with lotteries. We found that subjects were more risk averse in the buying experiment than in the selling experiment, suggesting the endowment effect. In the selling experiment, subjects were risk loving...

This study examines the effects of regret on investor behavior and market turbulence by using a model where investors not only regret wrong actions but also regret inaction. We demonstrate that regret aversion can cause investors to ride a bubble, exit and reenter the market, or choose not to...

This paper examines the aggregate effects of regret in a market where investors maximize expected return while minimizing anticipated regret. In equilibrium, the excess return on a risky asset is proportional to its “regret beta” that is defined with respect to the gap between the market...

This study examines the effects of counterfactual thinking on asset pricing and market efficiency in a noisy rational expectation model. Emotional traders with counterfactual thinking trade an equity with informed and uninformed rational traders. An equilibrium exists wherein shocks to emotional...

The composition and manufacturing process of a three-layer anticorrosive cool coating for oil storage tanks are introduced. The optical, indoor thermal and physicochemical properties were systematically investigated. In addition, the outdoor cooling effect and the reduction of evaporation losses...
