Price volatility and investor overreactions are commonplace in experimental asset markets. Understanding the price dynamics in these markets is crucial for designing successful new trading institutions. We report on a series of experiments to test the predictions of a new momentum model using a...

We report on a large number of laboratory market experiments demonstrating that a market bubble can be reduced under the following conditions: 1) a low initial liquidity level, i.e., less total cash than value of total shares, 2) deferred dividends, and 3) a bid-ask book that is open to traders....

We develop a methodology to extract a quantitative model for behavioral effects in markets from empirical data. A set of 24 asset market experiments are utilized to derive an equation of price and its dependence on momentum, fundamental value, excess bid level and liquidity considerations. A...

This paper investigates the effect of dividend timing on price bubbles and endogenous expectations in twenty-six laboratory asset markets. In ten quot;A1quot; markets, a single dividend is paid at the end of the trading horizon. In nine quot;A2quot; markets, dividends are paid at the end of each...
