Herding and Contrarian Behavior in Financial Markets: An Experimental Analysis —not for publication—
Appendix A analyzes alternative, behavioral explanations for trading behavior. The time-line in Appendix B gives a complete run down of the structure of a typical experimental setting and the text (not the section headings) of the instructions detailed in Appendix C are a reproduction of what is read to the subjects during the experiment. Answers to questions are of course unscripted, but all o...
متن کاملBehavioral Biases in Endogenous-Timing Herding Games: an Experimental Study∗
We experimentally study behavior in an endogenous-timing herding game. We find that subjects respond to their type and to observed investment activity in a sensible way, but there are also substantial departures from Nash Equilibrium. Some departures can be viewed as mere noise in decision making while other departures represent systematic biases reflecting subjects’ failure to appreciate subtl...
متن کاملHerding Behavior In Online P2P Lending: An Empirical Investigation
We study lender behavior in the peer-to-peer (P2P) lending market, where individuals bid on unsecured microloans requested by other individual borrowers. Online P2P exchanges are growing, but lenders in this market are not professional investors. In addition, lenders have to take big risks because loans in P2P lending are granted without collateral. While the P2P lending market shares some char...
متن کاملHerding and Contrarian Behaviour in Financial Markets: An Experimental Analysis
We are the first paper to analyse and confirm the existence and extent of rational informational herding and rational informational contrarianism in a financial market experiment, and to compare and contrast these with the equivalent irrational phenomena. In our study, subjects generally behaved according to benchmark rationality. Moreover, traders who should herd or be contrarian in theory are...
