This study examines whether and how merchant guilds’ historical traditions affect the stock price crash risk of Chinese firms. Using a comprehensive sample of publicly traded companies in China from 2003 to 2019, we find that firms more affected by historical guild traditions have significantly higher crash risk. Mechanism tests show that these firms engage in relation-oriented financial activities—including transactions, guarantees, and loans with their related parties—which is coupled with less voluntary disclosure to external investors. Furthermore, the effect of historical guild tradition on crash risk is especially pronounced for companies with lower analyst coverage, lower institutional ownership, and those in regions with weaker local governance. Overall, this study illustrates that exclusive institutions such as merchant guilds can encourage relation-oriented behaviors and ultimately amplify stock price crash risk.
本研究探讨商会的历史传统是否及如何影响中国企业的股价崩盘风险。利用2003 - 2019年中国上市公司的综合样本,我们发现受历史行业传统影响更大的公司崩盘风险显著更高。机制测试表明,这些公司从事以关系为导向的金融活动,包括与其关联方的交易、担保和贷款,同时对外部投资者的自愿披露较少。此外,对于分析师覆盖率较低、机构所有权较低以及地方治理较弱的公司,历史公会传统对崩溃风险的影响尤为明显。综上所述,本研究表明商会等排外机构会鼓励关系导向行为,并最终放大股价崩盘风险。

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the shift towards online behavioral experiments and the increased adoption of crowdsourcing platforms for participant recruitment. While conducting online studies has become more common, carrying out real-time interactive experiments online presents unique challenges. We provide an overview of existing tools for conducting interactive online experiments and discuss key considerations for setting up and running interactive online studies. We make special mention of the setup combination of studies programmed in oTree and carried out with Prolific samples, which has become popular in experimental and behavioral economics and finance research. Using a case study of a large multi-round experiment involving synchronous decision-making among groups of participants recruited via Prolific, we examine critical factors such as sample availability, participant arrival speed, traffic management, as well as dropout risks and mitigation approaches. We discuss strategies researchers can adopt and suggest areas for further investigation.
2019冠状病毒病大流行加速了向在线行为实验的转变,并越来越多地采用众包平台招募参与者。在进行在线研究变得越来越普遍的同时,进行在线实时互动实验提出了独特的挑战。我们提供了进行交互式在线实验的现有工具的概述,并讨论了建立和运行交互式在线研究的关键考虑因素。我们特别提到了在oTree中编程并使用多产样本进行研究的设置组合,这在实验和行为经济学和金融研究中已经很流行。通过一个大型多轮实验的案例研究,涉及通过多产招募的参与者群体之间的同步决策,我们检查了关键因素,如样本可用性,参与者到达速度,交通管理,以及辍学风险和缓解方法。我们讨论了研究人员可以采用的策略,并提出了进一步研究的领域。

Mental framing effects in dynamic portfolio choice 动态投资组合选择中的心理框架效应
IF 4.7 2区 经济学 Q1 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2025-12-01 Epub Date: 2025-09-13 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbef.2025.101109

We present experimental evidence of systematic decision errors in dynamic portfolio choice. Participants created contingency plans in a lattice model. When returns were independent and identically distributed, most plans were near-optimal for plausible risk preferences. However, under dynamic probabilities, most plans were inefficient, even by First-degree Stochastic Dominance. Allocations showed a lack of sensitivity to probability shifts, consistent with myopic loss aversion. Decision quality improved when participants compared their original plan to precomputed optimal plans. Results highlight the importance of problem framing in dynamic choice and support a libertarian paternalistic approach to choice architecture.
本文给出了动态投资组合中系统决策误差的实验证据。参与者在格子模型中创建应急计划。当收益独立且分布相同时,大多数计划对于合理的风险偏好来说都是接近最优的。然而,在动态概率下,大多数计划是低效的,即使是在一级随机优势下也是如此。配置显示出对概率变化缺乏敏感性,与短视的损失厌恶一致。当参与者将他们的原始计划与预先计算的最佳计划进行比较时,决策质量得到了提高。结果强调了问题框架在动态选择中的重要性,并支持自由主义家长式的选择架构方法。

Under the shield: How directors’ and officers’ liability insurance affects corporate greenwashing 遮羞布之下:董事和高管责任保险如何影响企业的“洗绿”行为
IF 4.7 2区 经济学 Q1 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2025-12-01 Epub Date: 2025-09-10 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbef.2025.101110

The dual-edged nature of Directors’ and Officers’ liability insurance (D&O insurance) draws our attention to exploring how it influences corporate greenwashing by shaping executive behavior. Using data from Chinese listed companies, our results demonstrate that D&O insurance significantly induces corporate greenwashing behavior, with this effect notably mitigated when the insurance announcement emphasizes the company’s interests or includes exemption clauses. We identify that heightened executive moral hazard is the key channel through which this effect operates. The background of executives further distorts the effect of D&O insurance: it is prominent among executive teams with dispersed power, lack of academic and political backgrounds. Further research offers regulators insights on curbing the negative impacts of D&O insurance by highlighting the importance of strengthened regulatory warnings and supervision intensity.
董事和高级管理人员责任保险(D&O insurance)的双刃剑性质吸引了我们的注意力,探讨它如何通过塑造高管行为来影响企业的“漂绿”。利用中国上市公司的数据,我们的研究结果表明,D&;O保险显著诱导了公司的“洗绿”行为,当保险公告强调公司利益或包含豁免条款时,这种效应显著减弱。我们发现,高管道德风险的加剧是这种效应发挥作用的关键渠道。高管的背景进一步扭曲了D&;O保险的效果:它在权力分散、缺乏学术和政治背景的高管团队中表现突出。进一步的研究通过强调加强监管警告和监管强度的重要性,为监管机构提供了遏制d&o保险负面影响的见解。

This paper presents the results of a financial literacy intervention conducted in collaboration with two Italian NGOs supporting women in distress, such as those facing unemployment, economic dependency, or domestic abuse. The program consisted of an interactive lecture focused on essential financial concepts, particularly budgeting and savings. Using a phase-in Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) design, we assess the impact of this intervention on participants’ financial knowledge and confidence. The findings reveal substantial improvements in both domains, highlighting strong responsiveness to the program. Mediation analysis shows that increases in confidence account for a large share of the observed gains in financial literacy. Furthermore, we identify significant heterogeneity in these outcomes based on women’s socio-demographic characteristics and levels of financial fragility. The intervention has a stronger influence on participants with weaker initial financial literacy, highlighting its potential to reduce knowledge gaps.
本文介绍了与两个意大利非政府组织合作开展的金融扫盲干预的结果,这些非政府组织支持处于困境中的妇女,如面临失业、经济依赖或家庭虐待的妇女。该计划包括一个互动讲座,重点是基本的财务概念,特别是预算和储蓄。采用分阶段随机对照试验(RCT)设计,我们评估了这种干预对参与者金融知识和信心的影响。调查结果显示,在这两个领域都有实质性的改进,突出了对该计划的强烈响应。中介分析表明,信心的增强在观察到的金融知识增长中占很大比例。此外,我们根据妇女的社会人口特征和金融脆弱性水平确定了这些结果的显著异质性。干预措施对初始金融知识水平较低的参与者影响更大,突出了其缩小知识差距的潜力。

The economic value of “Kosher” impact banking “犹太教”的经济价值影响银行业

Financial institutions around the world are aware of customers' ambitions to conduct their financial activities in accordance with their values. In response, they are entering the impact-economy field. Israeli banking today does not operate according to Jewish law, since there is a bypass called "Heter Iska", which allows one to have unlimited banking activity. We used a quantitative model to estimate the expected economic value of a new banking track tailored for religious Jews who want to avoid religiously prohibited usury in a manner more compatible with Jewish law. Our survey revealed that, on average, employees would be willing to forgo 16 % of their salary for the benefit of working for a bank that offered such products and that customers would be willing to pay 80 % higher management fees for such products. These findings suggest that such products could be commercially viable. This work falls into two topical areas covered by this journal: Religion and Attitudes (specifically, corporate behavior) and Religious Practices (specifically, economic behavior of individuals and groups of individuals).
世界各地的金融机构都意识到,客户希望按照自己的价值观开展金融活动。作为回应,他们正在进入冲击经济领域。今天的以色列银行业并不按照犹太法律运作,因为有一条被称为“Heter Iska”的旁路,允许一个人无限制地进行银行活动。我们使用了一个定量模型来估计为犹太教徒量身定制的新银行业务的预期经济价值,这些犹太人希望以更符合犹太法律的方式避免宗教禁止的高利贷。我们的调查显示,平均而言,员工愿意放弃16% %的工资,以换取在提供此类产品的银行工作,而客户愿意为此类产品支付80% %的管理费。这些发现表明,这种产品在商业上是可行的。这项工作分为本杂志涵盖的两个主题领域:宗教和态度(具体而言,公司行为)和宗教实践(具体而言,个人和个人群体的经济行为)。

Most defined contribution retirement income systems assume that retiring participants have the know-how and confidence to turn their lump sum savings into life-long income. Surprisingly slow withdrawals by retired defined contribution participants cast doubt on this assumption. In this study, we conduct three rounds of lab-in-the-field experiments that give near-to-retirement defined contribution plan participants updating information about withdrawal plans. We show that income projections induce slightly higher rates of withdrawal but this influence is dominated by income anchors. Supporting participants with basic information and the opportunity to engage in the decision process through interactive education tools has the potential to improve their wellbeing in retirement.
大多数固定缴款退休收入制度都假设,即将退休的参与者有知识和信心将他们的一次性储蓄转化为终身收入。退休的固定缴款参与者惊人的缓慢提款让人对这一假设产生了怀疑。在本研究中,我们进行了三轮实验室现场实验,为即将退休的固定缴款计划参与者提供有关提取计划的更新信息。我们的研究表明,收入预测会导致略高的退出率,但这种影响主要由收入锚定决定。通过互动教育工具为参与者提供基本信息和参与决策过程的机会,有可能改善他们的退休福利。

The effect of social comparison on debt taking: Experimental evidence 社会比较对债务承担的影响:实验证据

A number of studies show a link between social comparison and high levels of household debt. However, the exact underlying mechanisms are not yet well understood. In this paper, we disentangle two mechanisms in a lab experiment to study the effects of social image concerns and peer information on debt-financed consumption choices. We find that having to announce their consumption decisions publicly does not make participants more likely to take on debt. However, in an exploratory analysis, we uncover that it makes them more likely to buy a lower quality product than they can afford. We find no significant effects for information about other participants consumption on choices.
许多研究表明,社会攀比与高水平的家庭债务之间存在联系。然而,确切的潜在机制还没有被很好地理解。在本文中,我们在实验室实验中理清了社会形象关注和同伴信息对债务融资消费选择的影响机制。我们发现,不得不公开宣布他们的消费决定并不会使参与者更有可能承担债务。然而,在一项探索性分析中,我们发现,这使他们更有可能购买比他们负担得起的低质量的产品。我们发现其他参与者的消费信息对选择没有显著影响。

Personality-driven value investing: The mediating role of financial self-efficacy and versatile cognitive styles 人格驱动的价值投资:财务自我效能感与多元认知风格的中介作用
IF 4.7 2区 经济学 Q1 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2025-12-01 Epub Date: 2025-09-27 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbef.2025.101114

The influence of individual psychological and cognitive characteristics on preferences for value versus growth stocks (VSvGS) is not well understood. This study examines the influence of personality traits, financial self-efficacy (FSE), and versatile cognitive styles (VCS) on the choice between VSvGS. Specifically, it examines both the direct effects of personality traits on individual preferences and the indirect effects mediated by FSE and VCS. Data were collected from 351 students across two universities, one in Italy and the other in Pakistan. The results provide a significant positive (negative) direct effect of conscientiousness and openness (extraversion and neuroticism) on the preference for VSvGS. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that conscientiousness and openness (extraversion and neuroticism) have a positive (negative) impact on preferences for VSvGS, mediated by FSE and VCS. Moreover, the results show no significant differences in the impact of personality traits on the preferences for VSvGS between respondents from Italy and Pakistan.
个体心理和认知特征对价值股与成长股(VSvGS)偏好的影响尚不清楚。本研究考察了人格特质、财务自我效能感(FSE)和多用途认知风格(VCS)对多用途认知风格选择的影响。具体而言,本研究考察了人格特质对个体偏好的直接影响以及FSE和VCS介导的间接影响。数据来自两所大学的351名学生,一所在意大利,另一所在巴基斯坦。结果表明,尽责性和开放性(外向性和神经质性)对VSvGS偏好有显著的正(负)直接影响。此外,研究还表明,尽责性和开放性(外向性和神经质)在FSE和VCS的中介作用下对VSvGS的偏好有正(负)影响。此外,研究结果显示,性格特征对意大利和巴基斯坦被调查者的VSvGS偏好的影响没有显著差异。

Moreover, the results show no significant differences in the impact of personality traits on the preferences for VSvGS between respondents from Italy and Pakistan.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Finance","volume":"48 ","pages":"Article 101114"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145220496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigate the trade-offs involved in encouraging the adoption of stock-trading algorithms. In a three-week artificial stock market experiment, investors experience trading both independently and with the help of a financial algorithm. They then decide whether to adopt the algorithm. Across treatments, we vary the algorithm by its trading strategy and whether its decisions can be overridden. Our findings show that adoption rates are generally low, but investors are more likely to adopt an algorithm that trades actively and that they can override. An investor’s trading style does not consistently affect algorithm take-up. Instead, adoption primarily depends on the relative success of a trader’s performance when trading independently vs when the algorithm was trading on their behalf. Analysis of an exit questionnaire matches those observations with the reasons given by individuals for rejecting or adopting a financial algorithm.
我们研究了鼓励采用股票交易算法所涉及的权衡。在为期三周的人工股市实验中,投资者既可以独立交易,也可以借助金融算法进行交易。然后他们决定是否采用该算法。在处理过程中,我们根据算法的交易策略以及它的决策是否可以被推翻来改变算法。我们的研究结果表明,采用率普遍较低,但投资者更有可能采用一种交易活跃且他们可以推翻的算法。投资者的交易风格并不总是影响算法的使用。相反,采用与否主要取决于交易员在独立交易与算法代表他们交易时的相对成功表现。对退出问卷的分析将这些观察结果与个人给出的拒绝或采用金融算法的原因相匹配。
