Abstract
Home Bias is a phenomenon that has been sufficiently addressed from many different perspectives, such as active management or structural investment constraints. However, there is little work about the economic effects of these situations. This work aims to quantify the impact of this effect on the returns of a set of strategic portfolios with the same allocation between fixed income and equity assets. The statistical information includes the daily values of all indices for the 2004–2021 period. Returns have been calculated for investment time horizons of between 5 and 15 years. Quantile regressions have been used to assess changes in returns in response to changes in portfolio composition. The results suggest that over-investment in local assets is not always positive and dependent on the local index selected.
期刊介绍:
Behavioral and Experimental Finance represent lenses and approaches through which we can view financial decision-making. The aim of the journal is to publish high quality research in all fields of finance, where such research is carried out with a behavioral perspective and / or is carried out via experimental methods. It is open to but not limited to papers which cover investigations of biases, the role of various neurological markers in financial decision making, national and organizational culture as it impacts financial decision making, sentiment and asset pricing, the design and implementation of experiments to investigate financial decision making and trading, methodological experiments, and natural experiments.
Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Finance welcomes full-length and short letter papers in the area of behavioral finance and experimental finance. The focus is on rapid dissemination of high-impact research in these areas.
