paper we address two issues related to the effects of MLA on risky investment decisions. First, we assess the relative … impact of feedback frequency and investment flexibility (via the investment horizon) on risky investments. Second, given that … we observe higher investments with a longer investment horizon, we examine conditions under which investors might …

We examine in an experiment the causes, consequences and possible cures of myopic loss aversion (MLA) for investment … behaviour under risk. We find that both, investment horizons and feedback frequency contribute almost equally to the effects of … MLA. Longer investment horizons and less frequent feedback lead to higher investments. However, when given the choice …

In previous models of (cumulative) prospect theory reference-dependence of preferences is imposed beforehand and the location of the reference point is exogenously determined. This paper provides an axiomatization of a new specification of cumulative prospect theory, termed endogenous prospect...

We test the … reliability of two choice tasks for eliciting discount rates, risk aversion, and probability weighting and assess the stability of … largely uncorrelated with decisions in other important life domains involving intertemporal trade-offs and risk. …

comparably low returns and high risk has become known as the private equity premium puzzle. This paper provides evidence … supporting the hypothesis that lower risk aversion of entrepreneurs, and not necessarily credit constraints, may explain this … portfolios and experimentally validated risk attitudes. The results show that both the ownership probability and the conditional …
