The effect of strike militancy intentions and general union attitudes on the Organizational Citizenship Behavior of university faculty

Using a sample of unionized faculty, this study investigated whether faculty members' militancy intentions and general union attitudes affected their level of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). OCB was divided into three dimensions (OCB-teaching, OCB-faculty, and OCB-university), and separate predictions were made for each. Results indicated weak relationships at best between the predictor variables and OCB, suggesting that unionization is not likely to affect this important aspect of job performance.

Selection dynamics and adaptive behavior without much information

This paper uses the experimental method to investigate behavior in a coordination game when the information available to subjects is limited to their feasible choices and their experienced payoffs. In the experiment subjects converge to an absorbing state at rates that are orders of magnitude faster than reinforcement learning algorithms, but slower than under complete information. This state is very close to a mutual best response outcome. All cohorts converged to the market statistic predicted by the interior equilibrium regardless of the information conditions or the stability conditions. Eric Battalio programmed the graphical user interface. The National Science Foundation and Texas Advanced Research Program provided financial support. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation or the Texas Advanced Research Program.     

Home-field advantage or a matter of ambiguity aversion? Local bias among German individual investors

This paper investigates whether familiarity induced by ambiguity aversion can help explaining the local bias phenomenon among individual investors. Using geographic closeness as a proxy for investor familiarity, we find that investors pull out of (unfamiliar) remote stocks and pour into (familiar) local stocks during times of increased market uncertainty. Moreover, the magnitude of this ‘flight to familiarity’ increases in the spread of an investor's ambiguity (about expected returns) between local and remote stocks. Our results prove robust to a number of alternative explanations of local bias. Specifically, we rule out a ‘home-field advantage’, where investors are able to translate information advantages about nearby companies into excess returns on their local stockholdings. We conclude that individual investors’ local bias is induced by ambiguity aversion in the portfolio selection process rather than a trading strategy based on superior information about local companies.     

金融市场中的从众行为与信息传播

目前,很多的理论和实证研究发现,从众现象是导致金融市场剧烈波动的重要原因之一。因此,认识从众行为的演变发展过程,分析产生从众现象的原因,并提出一些防范措施是非常有意义的工作。从众现象非常复杂,从信息传播的角度分析从众行为。

金融市场的分形和混沌研究综述

主流的金融计量理论是以价格的随机游走和收益的正态分布假设为基础的,而时金融市场价格的分形和混沌研究,则从非线性的角度揭示金融价格的波动规律,并对主流金融计量理论提出了争议和挑战.本文对金融市场的分形和混沌研究做了全面综述,并进行了评价和展望.阐述了这些研究的意义,揭示了经济变量和金融市场价格的非线性特征,并对其机制进行了深入分析.不足之处是这些研究还不能很好地应用于实际经济和金融过程,去解决实际的问题.在定价、建模和预测方面还面临很多困难.对金融市场的非线性研究,让我们对现实世界的理解更加深入和精细.但这些研究并不意味着否定传统经济学理论.正是在不同理论的不断争论和互相印证的过程中,推动金融计量理论不断向前发展.
