Abstract
Abstract Motivated by the mixed findings in prior archival studies, this study conducts three experiments to examine the relationships among analysts’ intrinsic valuation estimates (V), stock recommendations (REC) and stock returns. Experiment 1, built on implications from prospect theory, provides direct observations on analysts’ asymmetric use of the valuation to price (V/P) ratio in making their REC. Experiments 2 and 3 indicate differences and similarities between professional and nonprofessional investors in using analysts’ V and REC in making their investment-related judgments. Our results provide implications for both research and practice.
期刊介绍：
In Journal of Behavioral Finance , leaders in many fields are brought together to address the implications of current work on individual and group emotion, cognition, and action for the behavior of investment markets. They include specialists in personality, social, and clinical psychology; psychiatry; organizational behavior; accounting; marketing; sociology; anthropology; behavioral economics; finance; and the multidisciplinary study of judgment and decision making. The journal will foster debate among groups who have keen insights into the behavioral patterns of markets but have not historically published in the more traditional financial and economic journals. Further, it will stimulate new interdisciplinary research and theory that will build a body of knowledge about the psychological influences on investment market fluctuations. The most obvious benefit will be a new understanding of investment markets that can greatly improve investment decision making. Another benefit will be the opportunity for behavioral scientists to expand the scope of their studies via the use of the enormous databases that document behavior in investment markets.
