price bubbles in asset markets, we investigate price dynamics in experimental markets not only under continuous double … auctions (CDAs) but also under call markets (CMs). The results suggest that the effects of informational asymmetry on bubbles … differ between CDAs and CMs. Specifically, informational asymmetry can contribute to the abatement of bubbles under CDAs as …

Centipede games and Dutch auctions provide important instances in which game theory fails empirically. The reasons for these empirical failures are not well understood. Standard centipede games and Dutch auctions differ from each other in terms of their Institutional Format (IF), Dynamic...

This study examines the role of timing in auctions under the premise that time is a valuable resource. When one object is for sale, Dutch and first-price sealed bid auctions are strategically equivalent in standard models, and therefore, they should yield the same revenue for the auctioneer. We...

We investigate, by mean of a lab experiment, a market inspired by two strands of literature on one hand we have herd behaviour in non-market situations, and on the other hand aggregation of private information in markets. The former suggests that socially undesirable herd behaviour may result...

We investigate the relationship between anchoring and the emergence of bubbles in experimental asset markets. We show … significantly reduce bubbles in laboratory asset markets. If no FV-anchor is set, bubble-crash patterns emerge. Our results indicate … that bubbles in laboratory environments are primarily sparked in the first period. If prices are initiated around the FV …

This paper examines experimentally two common conjectures in the popular literature on financial markets: that they are swayed by emotion and that they behave like a 'crowd'. We find consistent evidence that deviations of prices from fundamental value depend on the emotion of excitement and on...

To explore how speculative trading influences prices in financial markets, we conduct a laboratory market experiment with speculating investors (who do not collect dividends and trade only for capital gains) and dividend-collecting investors. Moreover, we operate markets at two different...
