Using a field experiment in China, we study whether migration status is correlated with attitudes toward risk, ambiguity, and competitiveness. Our subjects include migrants and non-migrants. We find that, migrants exhibit no differences from non-migrants in risk and ambiguity preferences...

We develop a general model, with the exponential bandit as a special case, in which high-ability agents are more likely to achieve early success but also learn faster that their project is not promising. These counteracting effects give rise to a signaling model in which the single-crossing...

In this study, we examine the performance of portfolios based on excess cash holdings using a sample of UK listed firms. We argue that firms with excess cash holdings outperform firms that hold less cash. Strategically, excess cash holdings provide advantages in the product market and have been...

In this study, we examine the impact of excess cash holdings on the performance of UK portfolios in the presence of high economic uncertainty. We argue that macro-level uncertainty imposes high risks on firms. Such a high level of uncertainty also enhances the value of cash holdings, since...
