Cohort Experience Seems To Do It

Experience with same faces and same environment causes convergence to FV

Cash exacerbates the bubble characteristics Dividend certainty speeds-up the process

Experimental Design

Dividends {0,8,28,60}

Initial Portfolios Average Portfolio is

4 shares and 720 cents in cash

Twice Experienced Same cohort

Dividends {0,1,8,28,98}

Initial Portfolios Average Portfolio is

2 shares and 1530 cents in cash

Twice Experienced Mixed traders

Lead-up (Inexp, 1-Exper)

Replication with baseline Same cohort (5 cohorts – 70 subjects)

through 2 experiments with baseline parameters

Third time back Mixed the cohorts Changed the environment parameters

Conclusion

Bubbles are pervasive and persistence Attempts to moderate bubbles through institutional

changes do not work or exacerbate the price bubbles Bubbles depend on the underlying environment

Common static environment is a necessary condition for convergence to FV

Great stock market booms as driven by waves of new technology

such environments introduce new sources of unpredictable yield uncertainty

parallel with this development we see much new liquidity attracted into equity investment
