Abstract:
|
We present results on expectation formation in a controlled experimental environment. In each period subjects are asked to predict the next price in a standard asset pricing model. In most experiments bubbles emerge endogenously. These bubbles are inconsistent with rational expectations and seem to be driven by trend chasing behavior or positive feedback expectations of the participants. We also analyse individual predictions of participants and find that participants within a group tend to coordinate on a common prediction strategy.
