Measures based on self-assessments, which are increasingly important in empirical economic research, are plagued by measurement error. This paper presents the first attempt at measuring both revealed and self-reported reliability of individuals' answers on self-reports of latent characteristics....

Team performance has been the theme of scientific inquiry for a long time. However, researchers have recently diverted their attention to relational approaches to understanding highly congruent teams better. Unfolding the antecedents of team performance requires a nuanced display of leaders’...

We use detailed assessments of CEO personalities to explore the option-based measure of CEO overconfidence, Longholder, introduced by Malmendier and Tate (2005a) and widely used in the behavioral corporate finance and economics literatures.
