Framing Effects on Selected Information and Market Behavior - an Experimental AnalysisErich KirchlerUniversity of Vienna - Department of Psychology Martin WeberUniversity of Mannheim - Department of Banking and Finance Boris MaciejovskyMax Planck Society for the Advancement of the Sciences - Max Planck Institute for Economics 2005 The Journal of Behavioral Finance, Vol. 6, No. 2, pp. 90-100, 2005 Abstract: The results of an asset market experiment, in which 64 subjects trade two assets on eight markets in a computerized continuous double auction, indicate that (i) objectively irrelevant information influences trading behavior. Moreover, positively and negatively framed information leads to a particular trading pattern. However (ii), a probability variation of the framed information has no influence on trading volume. In addition, the results (iii) confirm the disposition effect. Participants who experience a gain sell their assets more rapidly than participants who experience a loss, and positively framed subjects generally sell their assets later than negatively framed subjects.
