Post-earnings-announcement drift (PEAD) is one of the most solidly documented asset pricing anomalies. We use the controlled conditions of an experimental lab to investigate whether earnings autocorrelation is the driving cause of this anomaly. We observe PEAD in settings with uncorrelated and correlated earnings surprises, implying that earnings autocorrelation is not a necessary condition for PEAD. It rather is a moderator, as the PEAD is stronger when earnings surprises are serially correlated. We further show that market prices underadjust to fundamental value changes, and that trading strategies can profitably exploit the PEAD. Besides offering new results regarding the PEAD-phenomenon, we thus provide a proof-of-concept for the ability of experiments to generate valuable insights into this asset pricing anomaly.
收益公告后漂移(PEAD)是最可靠的资产定价异常之一。我们使用实验室的控制条件来研究盈余自相关是否是这种异常的驱动原因。我们在不相关和相关盈余意外的情况下观察到PEAD,这意味着盈余自相关不是PEAD的必要条件。相反,它是一个调节因素,因为当盈利意外连续相关时,PEAD会更强。我们进一步表明,市场价格对基本价值变化的调整不足,交易策略可以利用PEAD获利。除了提供关于pead现象的新结果外,我们还为实验能力提供了概念验证,以产生对这种资产定价异常的有价值的见解。

Round Number Reference Points and Irregular Patterns in Reported Gross Margins 报告毛利率的整数参考点和不规则模式
Pub Date : 2020-10-10 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3708609
Matthew Cedergren, Valerie Li
We find irregular patterns in the distribution of firms’ reported quarterly gross margin percentages. Specifically, there is significant bunching around percentage integers that are highly round (e.g., multiples of 10, such as 30%, 40%, etc.) or are neatly divisible (e.g., 25%, 75%), compared to what is predicted by counterfactual distributions. Further investigation reveals that highly round gross margin firms are smaller, exert higher effort, achieve higher productivity, have more difficult goals, and pay their CEOs with a higher portion of fixed income. We also find that highly round gross margins are associated with superior performance. Additionally, we do not find consistent evidence that highly round gross margin reference points are linked to external rewards. Collectively, our evidence is consistent with reference-dependent preferences for highly round gross margins likely being driven by intrinsic (rather than extrinsic) motivations.
我们发现公司报告的季度毛利率百分比分布不规律。具体来说,与反事实分布预测的结果相比,在高度四舍五入(例如,10的倍数,例如30%,40%等)或整齐可除(例如,25%,75%)的百分比整数周围存在显著的聚集。进一步的调查显示,高圆整毛利率的公司规模较小,付出的努力更大,实现的生产率更高,目标更困难,并且支付给ceo的固定收益比例更高。我们还发现,高圆整的毛利率与卓越的业绩有关。此外,我们没有发现一致的证据表明,高度圆整的毛利率参考点与外部奖励有关。总的来说,我们的证据与对高圆整毛利率的参考依赖偏好是一致的,这种偏好可能是由内在(而不是外在)动机驱动的。

Ethereum’s Alphabet: Predictive Price Chart Patterns Discovered by a Neural Network 以太坊的字母表:由神经网络发现的预测价格图表模式
Pub Date : 2020-10-10 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3710864

Based upon the recent work of Dacheng Xiu's team at the University of Chicago, we demonstrate that we can repurpose a consumer-level character recognition neural network to recognize price chart patterns in the Ethereum cryptocurrency for the purpose of forecasting short term (small N days) bullish/bearish signals (binary) for the same currency. Chart patterns are machine-interpreted only; any prior knowledge or biases about chart patterns are not applied in this study. Out of sample forecasts are found to be notably greater than 50% accurate and statistically significant for a limited range of days forward.
基于Dacheng Xiu在芝加哥大学的团队最近的工作,我们证明了我们可以重新利用消费者级字符识别神经网络来识别以太坊加密货币的价格图表模式,以预测同一货币的短期(小N天)看涨/看跌信号(二元)。图表模式只能由机器解释;任何关于图表模式的先验知识或偏见都不应用于本研究。样本外预测的准确率明显高于50%,在有限的未来几天内具有统计学意义。

Age-dependent Risk Aversion: Re-evaluating Fiscal Policy Impacts of Population Ageing 年龄相关性风险规避:人口老龄化财政政策影响的再评估
Pub Date : 2020-10-08 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3707319

This study revisits optimal fiscal policies in response to population ageing by introducing an age-dependent increasing risk aversion assumption into an OLG model with risk-sensitive preferences. Under this specification, the policy evaluation factors in the welfare cost of policy-induced uncertainties and suggests that, based on future generations’ welfare, financing population ageing by either reducing social security benefits or extending the retirement age may not be as strongly preferred over raising the payroll tax rate as prior studies have suggested. Varying risk aversion also emphasizes the role of precautionary savings that causes individuals to respond slightly differently to changes in demographic structures and price variables. This, in turn, influences the redistribution of life-cycle variables and transition dynamics of aggregate variables.
本研究通过在具有风险敏感偏好的OLG模型中引入年龄依赖的风险厌恶增加假设,重新审视了应对人口老龄化的最优财政政策。在这一规范下,政策评估将政策引起的不确定性的福利成本考虑在内,并表明,基于后代的福利,通过减少社会保障福利或延长退休年龄来资助人口老龄化,可能不像以前的研究所表明的那样,比提高工资税率更受欢迎。不同的风险厌恶也强调预防性储蓄的作用,它导致个人对人口结构和价格变量的变化作出略有不同的反应。这反过来又影响了生命周期变量的再分配和总量变量的过渡动态。

Make Hay While the Sun Shines: An Empirical Study of Maximum Price, Regret and Trading Decisions 把握时机:最大价格、后悔和交易决策的实证研究
Pub Date : 2020-10-05 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3705223

Using a dynamic extension of Regret Theory, we test how the regret induced by not selling a stock when the maximum price in an investment episode is attained shapes the propensity to sell a stock. We use a large discount brokerage dataset containing US households’ trading records between 1991 and 1996. Expected utility predicts that investors should stop at a threshold, whilst a Regret agent does not necessarily stop there. We observe that investors do not follow a threshold strategy in our data. Only 31.6% of the gains are sold on the day when the maximum is attained and 25.8% of the losses are sold on the day when the minimum is attained. We find that more sophisticated and younger investors are more likely to follow a threshold strategy. Second, we find that investors are more likely to sell a stock for a gain in a moment closer in time to the maximum occurrence and at a price further from the running maximum price of the stock in the investment episode. Anticipated regret and belief updating might explain this pattern. The propensity to sell a gain steadily declines a short time after the maximum was attained. We suggest that traders might regret not selling at a time close to the maximum day and hold onto the stock if a long time has passed.
利用后悔理论的动态扩展,我们检验了在达到投资事件的最高价格时不卖出股票所引起的后悔如何影响卖出股票的倾向。我们使用了一个大型折扣经纪数据集,其中包含1991年至1996年间美国家庭的交易记录。预期效用预测投资者应该在一个阈值处停止,而遗憾代理人不一定在那里停止。我们观察到,在我们的数据中,投资者没有遵循阈值策略。只有31.6%的收益在达到最大值的当天卖出,而25.8%的损失在达到最小值的当天卖出。我们发现,更成熟、更年轻的投资者更有可能遵循门槛策略。其次,我们发现投资者更有可能在接近最大发生时间的时刻卖出股票以获得收益,并且价格远离投资事件中股票的运行最高价格。预期的后悔和信念更新可以解释这种模式。在达到最大值后的短时间内,卖出收益的倾向稳步下降。我们建议交易者可能会后悔没有在接近最高日的时候卖出,并在很长一段时间后持有股票。

The Last Hurrah Effect: End-of-Period Temporal Landmarks Increase Financial Risk-Taking 最后的欢呼效应:期末时间标志增加了金融冒险
Pub Date : 2020-10-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3702775

Are people more likely to take financial risks at the end of a work week? Using a unique panel dataset of peer-to-peer lending loans from Prosper Marketplace, Inc, we investigate whether temporal landmarks associated with the end of a period influence financial risk-taking. We find that investors are more likely to select riskier loans at the last day of a work week (i.e., Fridays) relative to other weekdays (Monday through Thursday). Our results are robust to the inclusion of investor experience, supply-side (e.g., loan availability) and demand-side (e.g., number of investors) control variables as well as time, and geographic fixed effects. Consistent with a mental accounting framework where end-of-period landmarks trigger a last hurrah effect, we find that alternative end-of-period markers (i.e., the Wednesday or Thursday preceding a holiday weekend, the last day of the month) also lead to significant increases in risk-taking. We use a variety of robustness checks as well as a laboratory experiment to rule out several alternative explanations. Finally, we demonstrate that this end-of-period effect has financial repercussions downstream yielding significantly worse returns relative to investments made on other days. We conclude by discussing how this can affect consumers’ financial decision making and policy.
人们是否更有可能在一周的工作结束时承担财务风险?利用Prosper Marketplace, Inc .提供的独特的p2p贷款面板数据集,我们调查了与一段时期结束相关的时间标志是否会影响金融风险承担。我们发现,相对于其他工作日(周一至周四),投资者更有可能在工作周的最后一天(即周五)选择风险更高的贷款。我们的结果对于包括投资者经验、供应方(例如,贷款可用性)和需求方(例如,投资者数量)控制变量以及时间和地理固定效应都是稳健的。与期末里程碑触发最后狂欢效应的心理会计框架一致,我们发现,其他期末标记(即假期周末前的周三或周四,一个月的最后一天)也会导致冒险行为显著增加。我们使用各种鲁棒性检查以及实验室实验来排除几种替代解释。最后,我们证明了这种期末效应对下游的财务影响,相对于其他日子的投资,产生了明显更差的回报。最后,我们将讨论这将如何影响消费者的金融决策和政策。

In the Long Run We Are All Herd: On the Nature and Outcomes of the Beauty Contest 从长远来看,我们都是羊群:论选美比赛的性质和结果
Pub Date : 2020-09-30 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3702434
Lorenzo Esposito, Giuseppe Mastromatteo
Since the 2008 crisis, the economics literature has shown a renewed interest in Keynes’s “beauty contest” (BC) as a fundamental aspect of the functioning of financial markets. We argue that to understand the importance of the BC, psychological and informational factors are of small importance, and a dynamic-structural approach should be followed instead: the BC framework is paramount because it is rooted in the historical trajectory of capitalism and it is not simply a consequence of “irrational” (i.e., biased) agents. In this genuine form, the BC mechanism allows one to understand the main trends of a financialized world. Moreover, the conventional nature of financial markets provides a sound method for assessing different economic policies whose effectiveness depends on how much they can influence the convention itself. This alternative understanding of the BC can be used to start the needed rethinking of economics, urged by the crisis, that is for now reduced to studying the financial and psychological “imperfections” of the market.
自2008年危机以来,经济学文献对凯恩斯的“选美比赛”(BC)重新产生了兴趣,认为这是金融市场运作的一个基本方面。我们认为,要理解BC的重要性,心理和信息因素是次要的,而应该遵循动态结构方法:BC框架是至关重要的,因为它植根于资本主义的历史轨迹,而不仅仅是“非理性”(即有偏见的)代理人的结果。在这种真实的形式下,BC机制使人们能够理解金融化世界的主要趋势。此外,金融市场的传统性质为评估不同的经济政策提供了一种可靠的方法,这些政策的有效性取决于它们对传统本身的影响程度。这种对BC的另一种理解,可以用来开始对经济学进行必要的反思,这种反思是在危机的推动下进行的,目前已缩减为研究市场在金融和心理上的“不完善”。

Rational Irrationality: A Two Stage Decision Making Model 理性非理性:一个两阶段决策模型
Pub Date : 2020-09-25 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3595725
Rafael A Acevedo, Elvis Aponte, Pedro Harmath, Jose Mora Mora
This paper proposes a mathematical two-stage decision making model based on dual-decision models from behavioral economics that includes, in addition to cognitive and affective systems, an individualistic human factor and a stochastic shock. The model provides a new vision of the decision-making process and the impact of individualism. In the first stage, the agent´s initial willingness to choose is obtained following traditional economic theory but including an individual human factor, which is composed by the learning process, free will, and other human factors. This allows us to explain the reason why sometimes people are inclined to choose options that seem to be irrational decisions from the view of traditional economics logic. In the second stage, the model explains how the cognitive and affective systems and the influence of a stochastic shock affect the initial willingness to choose, obtained in the first stage. The shock might be produced by those negative and/or positive feelings and information not known or considered previously that allows the individual arrive to the final decision. Finally, our model demonstrates that the individual human factor and the stochastic shock are fundamental elements that define the rational irrationality when traditional economic theory fails to explain individuals´ choices.
本文提出了一个基于行为经济学双重决策模型的数学两阶段决策模型,该模型除了包括认知系统和情感系统外,还包括个人主义的人为因素和随机冲击。该模型为决策过程和个人主义的影响提供了新的视角。在第一阶段,agent的初始选择意愿是根据传统的经济理论得到的,但包含了个体的人为因素,它是由学习过程、自由意志和其他人为因素组成的。这使我们能够从传统经济学逻辑的角度解释为什么有时人们倾向于选择看似非理性的选择。在第二阶段,该模型解释了认知和情感系统以及随机冲击的影响如何影响在第一阶段获得的初始选择意愿。这种冲击可能是由那些消极和/或积极的感觉和信息所产生的,这些信息是之前不知道或考虑过的,可以让个人做出最终决定。最后,我们的模型表明,当传统经济理论无法解释个人选择时,个体人为因素和随机冲击是定义理性非理性的基本要素。

Salient Cues and Complexity 显著线索和复杂性
Pub Date : 2020-09-22 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3697313
Markus Dertwinkel-Kalt, M. Köster
Economic decisions are often influenced by "salient cues" that stand out in the choice context and attract attention. Intuitively, through channeling attention to a subset of the relevant information, salience thereby reduces the "dimensionality" of a decision problem. Building on this intuition, we hypothesize that people behave more consistently across differently complex problems if there is a common salient cue that guides their attention and, consequently, behavior. We experimentally test and confirm this hypothesis in the context of choice under risk: while revealed attitudes toward skewed risks — which have extreme and salient outcomes — are consistent across differently complex problems, revealed attitudes toward symmetric risks — where such a salient cue is missing — vary significantly with complexity. We provide suggestive evidence that these findings are driven by the extreme outcomes of skewed risks attracting a subject's attention and guiding choices. To rationalize our experimental results, we propose a variant of Bordalo et al.'s (2012) salience theory.
经济决策经常受到“显著线索”的影响,这些线索在选择环境中脱颖而出,吸引人们的注意。直观地说,通过将注意力引导到相关信息的子集,显著性因此降低了决策问题的“维度”。基于这种直觉,我们假设,如果有一个共同的显著线索引导人们的注意力,从而引导他们的行为,那么人们在不同复杂的问题上的行为会更加一致。我们在风险选择的背景下实验测试并证实了这一假设:尽管对倾斜风险(具有极端和显著的结果)的揭示态度在不同复杂的问题中是一致的,但对对称风险(缺少这种显著提示)的揭示态度随着复杂性而显着变化。我们提供了启发性的证据,证明这些发现是由扭曲风险的极端结果驱动的,这些风险吸引了受试者的注意力并引导了他们的选择。为了使我们的实验结果合理化,我们提出了Bordalo等人(2012)的显著性理论的变体。

Intuitively, through channeling attention to a subset of the relevant information, salience thereby reduces the \"dimensionality\" of a decision problem. Building on this intuition, we hypothesize that people behave more consistently across differently complex problems if there is a common salient cue that guides their attention and, consequently, behavior. We experimentally test and confirm this hypothesis in the context of choice under risk: while revealed attitudes toward skewed risks — which have extreme and salient outcomes — are consistent across differently complex problems, revealed attitudes toward symmetric risks — where such a salient cue is missing — vary significantly with complexity. We provide suggestive evidence that these findings are driven by the extreme outcomes of skewed risks attracting a subject's attention and guiding choices. To rationalize our experimental results, we propose a variant of Bordalo et al.'s (2012) salience theory.","PeriodicalId":8731,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral & Experimental Finance eJournal","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85024530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The identical cash flow rights of Chinese A and B shares provide a natural experiment that allows us to explore how investor clienteles affect stock return patterns. Chinese domestic retail investors are responsible for the majority of trades in A shares, while foreign institutional investors have a significant presence in B shares. We find that B shares exhibit strong momentum while their corresponding A shares do not. In contrast, A shares exhibit significant short-term reversals while their B share counterparts do not. Furthermore, we document that institutional ownership strengthens momentum in B shares. These return patterns are consistent with a simple model where the trades of overconfident informed investors generate momentum and the trades of uninformed noise traders generate reversals.
中国A股和B股相同的现金流权提供了一个自然的实验,使我们能够探索投资者客户如何影响股票回报模式。中国国内散户投资者在A股交易中占多数,而境外机构投资者在B股交易中占很大比重。我们发现B股表现出强劲的增长势头,而相应的A股则没有。相比之下,A股表现出明显的短期逆转,而B股则没有。此外,我们证明机构持股增强了B股的势头。这些回报模式与一个简单的模型相一致,即过度自信的知情投资者的交易产生动力,而不知情的噪音交易者的交易产生逆转。
