due to taxation and how emergent properties from the interaction of traders like bubbles and crashes, excess volatility …, excess kurtosis and volatility clustering change. Numerical simulations reveal that under taxation traders abstain from short …-term trading in favour of longer investment horizons. This change in behavior leads to less excess volatility and diminishing …

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...

We investigate traders’ behaviour in an experimental asset market where uninformed agents cannot be sure about the presence of insiders. In this framework we compare two trading institutions: the continuous double auction and the call market. The purpose of this comparison is to test which of...

We investigate the relation between the motive of greed and several asset market indicators such as trading activity and bubble formation in the form of mispricing, overpricing, and price amplitude. To that end, we run experiments in which we are able to measure individuals’ greed and create...
