Abstract:

Depuis plusieurs décennies, les prix des énergies sont sujets à une volatilité croissante pesant considérablement sur l’ensemble de l’économie. Comparée aux prix des autres matières premières (comme, par exemple, les métaux précieux, ou encore les produits agricoles), l’évolution des produits énergétiques est apparue exceptionnellement incertaine, tant à long terme qu’à court terme. Dans un contexte économique global, ce phénomène acquiert toute son importance tant les dommages sur l’économie réelle d’une forte variation des prix des matières premières peuvent être conséquents. Cette thèse s’intéresse donc aux causes profondes expliquant ces fluctuations. Plus spécifiquement, en unissant les différents champs de l’économie de l’énergie, de l’économétrie, de la finance et de la psychologie, elle s’attache à comprendre le phénomène de financiarisation des commodités et les relations étroites entre marchés financiers et marchés des matières premières. Cette réflexion s’articule en trois thèmes : d’une part la relation entre les prix des différentes énergies et leurs propriétés financières est analysée, d’autre part les aspects émotionnels et comportementaux des marchés sont étudiés, enfin les liens directs entre marchés boursiers et marchés de commodités sont abordés
Since decades, energy prices are subject to increasing volatility affecting the whole economy. Compared to other commodity prices (for example precious metals and agro-industrial), energy price dynamics appear to be extremely uncertain both at short and long run. In a global economic context, this phenomenon is very important since intense variations of commodity prices can be tragic to real economy. This thesis focuses on the true nature of these movements. More formally, we investigate the commodity markets’ financialization, as well as the relationships between commodity and stock markets by unifying the fields of energy economics, econometrics, finance and psychology. This analysis is based on three themes: first energy prices relationships and their financial properties are analyzed, and then the behavioral and emotional specification of energy markets are studied, finally comovements between stock and commodity markets’ volatility are considered

Abstract:

U.S.-based financial institutions have experienced significant failure rates since the mid-1980s. The problem within the U.S.-based banking industry is that the focus of leadership development has been primarily on cognitive abilities, whereas interpersonal skills, such as emotional intelligence, have been neglected. Research has focused on U.S. bank failures from a risk mitigation, economic, or legislative perspective, creating a gap in research on leadership behavior. The purpose of this correlation study was to determine whether a significant relationship exists between emotional intelligence and servant leadership among leaders in the U.S. small business banking industry. The theoretical framework compared intelligence types to leadership styles to explain leadership behavior. A convenience sample of leaders within the Qualtrics database of small business-bankers was surveyed from a composite survey for levels of servant leadership and emotional intelligence simultaneously. Pearson's correlation coefficient was performed to test the hypothesis. A statistically significant relationship was found between servant leadership and emotional intelligence. Social change implications of this study include improving employee engagement and retention, along with stakeholder engagement through the identification of leaders high in servant leadership style and emotional intelligence. Positive economic, social, and environmental benefits could be gained through improved organizational performance of U.S.-based banks by improving the selection and development of leaders in small business lending willing to embrace a stakeholder management theory.

Abstract:

Cette thèse consiste en trois chapitres distincts. Dans le premier chapitre, je teste l'hypothèse selon laquelle le format d'affichage de l'information financière affecte les décisions des investisseurs individuels. Je montre qu'un affichage plus efficace permet aux individus de mieux gérer leurs ordres à cours limité en minimisant le risque de sélection adverse encouru en utilisant ces ordres. Cela suggère que les investisseurs individuels ont une rationalité limitée. Dans le second chapitre, je teste si les stratégies de trading apporteuses de liquidité peuvent générer des profits, après coûts de transactions, pour les traders actifs qui les implémentent. Je montre que seuls les individus situés dans le plus haut décile de performance peuvent battre le marché de façon persistante en utilisant des stratégies hautement contrariantes qui nécessitent l'utilisation massive d'ordres à cours limité. Les limites-à-l'arbitrage semblent expliquer ce phénomène. Dans le troisième chapitre, j'étudie les stratégies des individus autour des annonces de résultats. Je montre que les allers-retours qui sont implémentés un jour avant une annonce génèrent en moyenne des profits plus élevés et sont plus courts en durée que ceux implémentés en temps normal. Les individus clôturent leurs positions gagnantes le jour de l'annonce, ce qui peut ralentir l'ajustement des prix suite à l'annonce
This thesis is made of three distinct chapters. In the first chapter, I test whether the display format of financial information matters for the individual investor. I find that a more efficient information display allows investors to increase returns on their limit orders, because it becomes easier for them to mitigate the risk of adverse selection when trading with those orders. My findings suggest that retail investors have bounded rationality. In the second chapter I test whether liquidity provision to the market can be a profitable strategy, after fees, for active retail investors. I find that only individuals ranked in the top decile of performance can persistently beat the market using highly contrarian limit order strategies. Limits-to-arbitrage seem to explain why these top retail investors exploit trading opportunities before other more sophisticated arbitrageurs. In the third chapter, I study the retail trading strategies around stock earnings announcements. I find that round-trips started one day before an announcement are more profitable and much shorter in duration than those started during the non-announcement period. Retails reverse their winning trades on the event date, which can slow down the adjustment of prices to new information

Bachelor thesis within Business Administration

Title: Behavioral Finance – The Student Perspective

Authors: Kamran Sairafi, Karl Selleby, Thom Ståhl

Tutor: Urban Österlund

Date: 2008-05-30

Background: History is full of examples on how humans can create investment

bubbles through speculation; from the Dutch tulip mania to the

Dot Com bubble humans have proven to be capable of creating

economical chaos. Classical economical theories hold the assumption

that individuals act rationally regarding decisions of an

economical nature. Since the information on the stock market is

available to everyone who seeks it, the appearance of investment

bubbles should not be possible. Behavioral finance is an academic

branch which seeks to explore these phenomenons through the

psychological factors affecting humans in investment decisions.

Purpose: The purpose of the report is twofold. Firstly it is to examine the

characteristics of investment interested business students enrolled

at Jönköping International Business School. Secondly it looks into

the decision-making process and choices of the population

from the perspective of behavioral finance.

Method: This research holds an abductive approach and is based on qualitative

data. Data collection was done through an Internet-based

questionnaire containing several different questions on the areas

related to the inquiries. In some cases statistical analysis was conducted

to test for significant correlation between key characteristics.

Results: A statistically proven correlation could be discerned between

trading experience and frequency; for each additional year an individual

engaged in trading the frequency increased. Herd behavior

was detected in a majority of the sample. When faced with a

scenario in which their immediate surrounding opposed their own

analysis of a stock, the greater part of the sample would reconsider

their position. Two main sub-groups were detected. The first

was characterized by its high tolerance of risk; the second subgroup

was characterized by its inconsistency in behavior.

Conclusions: This paper found that the behavior of respondents in the chosen

population was best described as “student behavior”; a somehow

irrational behavior explained by the learning process in which

business students exist.

Abstract:

This dissertation investigates some of the factors affecting modern household finance decisions in the United States using natural experimental variation and administrative data. In Chapter 1 I estimate the effects of financial education on retirement savings decisions. Between 2007 and 2008 the U.S. Army implemented a mandatory 8 hour Personal Financial Management Course (PFMC) for new soldiers. Staggered implementation across locations and time provides quasi-experimental variation in whether an individual received the training. I find that the course has large and lasting effects on individual retirement savings in the Thrift Savings Plan, a tax-deferred account similar to a 401(k). The course doubles savings, has significant effects throughout the distribution of savings and the effects persist out to two years. The mechanism for the effects is likely a combination of both human capital and behavioral assistance. In Chapter 2 I estimate the effects of financial education on a variety of other economic behaviors. I rely on the same natural experiment as in Chapter 1 but I use individually matched credit data to estimate the effects of financial education on credit scores, credit balances for several types of accounts, monthly payments and adverse legal actions. In some areas I find that the PFMC has beneficial effects, reducing cumulative account balances (especially for automobile accounts) and aggregate monthly payments. In other areas, including credit scores, the probability of being active in the credit market and the number of adverse legal actions, the PFMC has no statistically significant effects on financial behavior. In Chapter 3 I estimate the effects of stress on financial decision-making. I use the natural variation in the casualty rates faced by individuals deploying overseas an exogenous source of stress and I measure the effects of this stress on individuals' participation in the Savings Deposit Program (SDP), a risk-free 10% annual percentage rate savings account. I find a modest and statistically significant negative relationship between the stress of casualties and SDP participation on the order of 5%. Some failures of the randomization test and the confounding effects of overall activity levels and rural locations cannot be eliminated as a source of the observed savings differences and as a result, these results should be considered suggestive evidence of the adverse effects of stress on financial decision-making.

The problem of investing over time remains an important open question, considering the recent large moves in the markets, such as the Financial Crisis of 2008, the subsequent rally in equities, and the decline in commodities over the past two years. We study this problem from three aspects. The first aspect lies in analyzing a particular dynamic strategy, called the stop-loss strategy. We derive closed-form expressions for the strategy returns while accounting for serial correlation and transactions costs. When applied to a large sample of individual U.S. stocks, we show that tight stop-loss strategies tend to underperform the buy-and- hold policy due to excessive trading costs. Outperformance is possible for stocks with sufficiently high serial correlation in returns. Certain strategies succeed at reducing downside risk, but not substantially. We also look at optimizing the stop-loss level for a class of these strategies. The second approach is more behavioral in nature and aims to elicit how various market players expect to react to large changes in asset prices. We use a global survey of individual investors, financial advisors, and institutional investors to do this. We find that most institutional investors expect to exhibit highly contrarian reactions to past returns in terms of their equity allocations. Financial advisors are also mostly contrarian; a few of them demonstrate passive behavior. In contrast, individual investors are, on average, extrapolative, and can be partitioned into four distinct types: passive investors, risk avoiders, extrapolators, and everyone else. The third part of the thesis studies how people actually trade. We propose a new model of dynamic trading in which an investor is affected by behavioral heuristics, and carry out extensive simulations to understand how the heuristics affect portfolio performance. We propose an MCMC algorithm that is reasonably successful at estimating model parameters from simulated data, and look at the predictive ability of the model. We also provide preliminary results from looking at trading data obtained from a brokerage firm. We focus on understanding how people trade their portfolios conditional on past returns at various horizons, as well as on past trading behavior.

Abstract:

This PhD Dissertation, structured by essays, aims to contribute to the field of emotions and behavioural ethics by spanning across disciplinary boundaries and methodological approaches. The ‘General Introduction’ provides a background as well as an overview of the contributions of this PhD Dissertation. The first essay provides the first systematic review on emotions and ethical decision-making, based on 38 empirical studies published between 2008 and 2017. At a methodological level, it reflects on the research methods that have been deployed so far to validate the study of the role of emotions on ethical decision-making. At a content level, it outlines the impact, in terms of outcomes, of different categories of emotions on ethical decision-making, through developing a 2x2 matrix of categories and outcomes. It concludes by recommending future thematic research avenues at both a methodological and content-level. The second essay provides the first exploratory study of implicit ethical behaviour and integral emotion responses in the asset management industry, through critical incident interviews with 38 elite fund managers in top-tier and boutique asset management companies in the UK. The latent thematic analysis of the interviews, guided by an essentialist paradigm, contributes to a contextualised elaboration of theory by developing a framework linking dimensions of ethical behaviour (i.e., authenticity and responsibility) with emotion responses (i.e., control and motivation). It contributes to the literature on ethical theories/value orientation, emotion regulation and appraisal theories by highlighting congruencies and incongruencies with existing research. The third essay provides a group-level psychosocial analysis of ethical risk on both a conscious and unconscious tier. Furthermore, it identifies how emotional contagion and RegTech (i.e., regulatory technology) efficiency affect ethical risk. It develops a mid-range model of ethical risk, alongside a typology of ethical behaviour and risk, and discusses theoretical and managerial implications.

Abstract:

This thesis consists of two essays on behavioral finance and financial market microstructure with computational approaches. Chapter 2 investigates the effects of steroid hormones and trader composition on financial markets in a mathematical model. We focus on the composition of traders in financial markets, namely, female traders and male traders, as risk preferences change in different ways with the mediation of steroid hormones. Firstly, we examine the effects of testosterone on financial risk preferences and market stability in the model. The results from simulation show that the effects of a more balanced gender composition are more nuanced. An increase in the proportion of female traders may actually increase the volatility of returns; however, the chances of extreme events are reduced. Secondly, we analyze the effects of cortisol on traders' risk preference and market behavior in our model with traders' risk preferences influenced by market uncertainty via the mediation of cortisol. Results from our model show that concerns about heightened market uncertainty mitigate traders' excessive risk-taking behaviors and performance of traders is largely affected by market sentiment. In the third part of Chapter 2, we examine the overall effect of testosterone and cortisol on market behavior with traders having heterogeneous behavioral and physiological responses to trading outcomes and market uncertainty. Results from simulation show that male-dominated market is less volatile as the effect of concerns about market uncertainty outweighs the effect of trading outcomes on traders' behavior. Chapter 3 examines the impact of two different types of information on high frequency market microstructure. We present a dynamic trading game in the limit order market with computerized traders and human traders trading in one risky asset, where traders might have lags in observing the contemporaneous fundamental value and the order book status. Optimal strategies and market characteristics are determined through a unique numerical technique. Our results show that these two types of information have different values for traders with information on contemporaneous fundamental value being more valuable than the information on contemporaneous limit order book status.

Abstract:

Prior research on corporations finds that there exists a large unexplained firm-specific heterogeneity in corporate behaviors stemming from the effects of managers. This research identifies managerial personalities and tests their effects on corporate behaviors both experimentally and empirically. First, the effects of managerial personalities on corporate financing decisions are tested using a laboratory experiment with managers in South Korea. The laboratory experimental market is à la Modigliani and Miller but with two frictions, bankruptcy costs and corporate taxation. Leverage choices of managers with particular personality traits are compared against the optimal capital structure computed from the static trade-off theory. The results show that extravert managers choose higher leverage ratios, with the effect being financially meaningful although not statistically significant. Secondly, I identify extravert CEOs and empirically measure its effects on corporate financing choices using Chief Executive Officers’ avocation data and corporate financial data of public, nonfinancial US companies between 1992 and 2011. The results of mean comparisons by group, fixed effects regressions, difference-in-difference regressions, and changes of leverages around CEO turnovers show that extravert CEOs tend to issue risky debt more when accessing external finance and maintain higher leverage ratios than their peers. Thirdly, I test the effects of managerial extraversion on executive compensation. I first offer an empirical compensation model of managerial bargaining power, and then empirically tests the prediction by identifying a personality trait relevant to bargaining power using a novel set of managerial hobbies data. The results provide an evidence that CEO bargaining power has an increasing effect on CEO compensation.

Abstract:

Students diagnosed with Emotional-Behavioral Disability (EBD) have an inability to successfully interact with peers or adults. This study examined 33 students with EBD to investigate their emotional intelligence, social skills, and the relationship between these two constructs. Participants were classified as either primary (grades 1-6, n = 14) or secondary (grades 7-12, n = 19). Students completed a Social Skills Rating System (SSRS) Self-Report Student Form and a BarOn Emotional Quotient Inventory: Youth Edition (EQi: YV) Form, while special education teachers completed the SSRS Teacher Form on each student. Results indicated that the emotional intelligence and social skills of these students were significantly correlated when the SSRS Self-Report Student Form was compared to the EQi: YV. When the SSRS Teacher Form results were compared with the EQi: YV, this relationship was not found. Results did support the hypothesis that the students with EBD have significantly lower Total EQ scores than the standardization sample of the EQi: YV. The EQi: YV subscale scores for Stress Management and Intrapersonal were also significantly lower than those of the standardization sample. Students with EBD had significantly lower SSRS Total Social Skills scores than the standardization sample when rated by their teachers using the SSRS Teacher Form. The primary students had Total Social Skills significantly lower than the standardization sample, but the secondary students did not. Students with EBD did not score significantly lower than the standardization sample of the SSRS when using the SSRS Self-Report Student Form, neither whole sample nor by grade level. Finally, the Empathy subscale scores for male students with EBD were not different from the standardization sample using the Self-Report Student Form of the SSRS. Implications and suggestions for further research were discussed.

Abstract:

The literature on childhood learning has shown that numerous factors lead to student achievement. A student must access personal resources to successfully navigate their educational and social world. This study sought to determine if intervention promotes students’ social, emotional, and behavioral self-regulation, as well as implications for readiness to learn. The study’s sample was comprised of 75 kindergarten students in a general education public school setting that received 90 minutes of intervention weekly in their natural classroom environment. The 10-week intervention consisted of direct instruction within the classroom for 30 minutes twice weekly by the teacher and researcher, with three 10-minute ‘check-in’ periods throughout the week to provide feedback and reinforcement. Several qualitative and quantitative tools were used to analyze the impact of the intervention, including the Social, Academic, and Emotional Behavior Risk Screener (SAEBRS), teacher surveys, a post-intervention teacher focus group, home program, researcher’s observations, and parent reports. The major findings included a statistically significant difference between pre- and post-test results following intervention. Consistency and teacher support were reported as contributing factors. Teachers, parents, and students indicated that the researcher’s lessons and intermittent reinforcement made a significant impact on the positive outcome of the intervention program. The results showed that students demonstrated the use of tools and terminology related to self-regulation in their school and home environments. Additional analysis suggested that three quantitatively identified “at risk” students, who consistently participated in the home program, were no longer in the at risk range, following intervention. Based on the Grounded Theory Framework, unique components of an effective self-regulation program emerged to provide implications for practice and further research recommendations.

Abstract:

This thesis consists of three chapters. In the first chapter, I investigate how promo-tion incentives affect the performance of high-skilled public employees. I study a centralized evaluation process awarding the eligibility for associate and full pro-fessorship in Italian academia, and show that the perspective of a promotion in-duces scholars to increase their research productivity. In the second chapter, I present the results from a laboratory experiment designed to assess whether and how financial literacy influences the way individuals perceive and evaluate finan-cial assets. By comparing participants’ investment decisions under different treat-ments, I show that the lack of financial literacy lowers the subjective value that investors assign to risky financial assets. The third and last chapter is devoted to an empirical analysis of the link between university quality and employment opportunities. I find that postgraduate students who receive incentives to attend higher-ranked universities are more likely to be employed one year and a half after the end of their studies.
Esta tesis consiste de tres capítulos. En el primer capítulo, analizo cómo los incentivos de promoción afectan el rendimiento de empleados públicos altamente calificados. Estudio un proceso de evaluación centralizado que determina la elegibilidad para posiciones de profesor titular y catedrático en la academia italiana, y encuentro que aquellos académicos que tienen la posibilidad de obtener una promoción aumentan la productividad de su investigación. En el segundo capítulo, presento los resultados de un experimento de laboratorio diseñado para determinar si y cómo la alfabetización financiera afecta la manera en la cual los individuos perciben y evalúan los productos financieros. Al comparar las decisiones de inversión de participantes sujetos a distintos tratamientos, muestro que la falta de alfabetización financiera afecta el valor subjetivo que los inversores le atribuyen a activos financieros riesgosos. Finalmente, el tercer capítulo analiza empíricamente la relación entre la calidad universitaria y las oportunidades de empleo. Encuentro que los estudiantes de posgrado que reciben incentivos para asistir a universidades de alto nivel tienen mayor probabilidad de estar empleados un año y medio después de concluir sus estudios.

Abstract:

Traditional theories in economics state that people make their decisions in order to maximize their utility function and all the relevant constraints and preferences are included and weighted appropriately. In other words, in standard models, it is usually assumed that decision makers are fully rational. However, some studies in behavioral economics and finance suggest that individuals deviate from standard models. Behavioral economic models try to make standard models more realistic by modifying these assumptions. This thesis focuses on some applications of behavioral economics in three chapters. Chapter 1 focuses on individuals’ deviations from standard preferences. Based on standard models, individuals have the same preferences about future plans at different points in time and the discounting factor between any two time periods is independent of when utility is evaluated. However, robust laboratory experiments show choice reversal behavior in humans and animals. The aim of chapter 1 is to find an approach for measuring the decision makers’ awareness of choice reversal by analyzing demand for commitment. We use the data from an experimental study by Casari (2009) to measure the awareness of the selfcontrol problem. Also, the welfare implications of introducing a commitment device are studied in this chapter. The results show that decision makers are partially aware of their self-control problems. Moreover, introducing a costless commitment device can increase the total welfare of the studied population. This increase depends on individuals’ awareness of future choice reversal. The aim of chapter 2 is to analyze stock price movements as a result of fundamental or technical shocks under a heterogeneous agents model (HAM). In this study, it is assumed that the market involves heterogeneous agents that have different rules for trading and that prices are endogenously determined through interactions between these agents. I use the numerical simulation method to examine changes in the prices as the result of fundamental shocks. The result of this chapter indicates that increasing heterogeneity in technical trading strategies could lead to more price oscillations, which is consistent with the excess volatility in stock prices. The aim of chapter 3 is to predict stock price movements under a new HAM. I use the HAM framework proposed in the previous chapter. The value added by this chapter is estimating stock prices in a heterogeneous agent environment where chartists use different moving average trading strategies. I use monthly data from S&P 500 from 1990 until 2012 and discuss the forecasting ability of the model. The results of this chapter show that the presented model has a better one-step ahead, out-of-sample forecasting power compared with Boswijk et al. (2007) and Chiarella et al. (2012).

Abstract:

Devido à natureza onipresente das falhas de serviço e suas consequências nocivas, é importante compreender como os clientes reagem a elas. Esta tese de doutorado explora algumas das reações cognitivas, emocionais e comportamentais dos clientes em relação a falhas de serviço. De maneira mais específica, a tese investiga atribuições causais, avaliações e controle percebido dos clientes como reações cognitivas, assim como uma ampla variedade de reações emocionais (p.ex., arrependimento, raiva, decepção, etc.) e comportamentais (p.ex., troca, reclamação, boca-a-boca negativo, entre outros). Esta tese apresenta três diferentes pesquisas dentro do escopo de reações do cliente a falhas de serviço. A primeira pesquisa traz o modelo temporal de controle percebido da psicologia para a área de serviços e compara o seu poder de explicar reações emocionais e comportamentais do cliente com o poder explanatório dos modelos de atribuição e de avaliação amplamente utilizados. Três surveys e um experimento são realizados. Os resultados mostram que, para algumas reações dos clientes (p.ex., arrependimento e troca), o modelo temporal de controle percebido tem poder explanatório superior ao poder dos modelos de atribuição causal e de avaliação tradicionalmente utilizados. Esta pesquisa também demonstra que o modelo temporal de controle percebido pode ser combinado aos modelos de atribuição causal e de avaliação para atingir maior poder explanatório. A segunda pesquisa investiga se falhas em serviços coproduzidos levam a uma atribuição causal mais interna ou externa (i.e., se a culpa é atribuída ao cliente ou ao prestador de serviço) e como isto afeta arrependimento, decepção e insatisfação do cliente. Dois experimentos são realizados. Os resultados indicam que falhas em serviços coproduzidos levam a uma atribuição mais interna que falhas em serviços não coproduzidos. Falhas em serviços coproduzidos também resultam em menores níveis de decepção e insatisfação sem elevar o nível de arrependimento do cliente. Os resultados também apontam que, em caso de incerteza causal (i.e., quando o cliente não está seguro sobre quem causou a falha), clientes que coproduzem sentem o mesmo alto nível de arrependimento de clientes que causaram a falha, contradizendo a literatura que afirma que incerteza causal leva à redução da intensidade emocional. A terceira pesquisa investiga se a velocidade do pensamento dos clientes afeta a atribuição de lócus causal para falhas de serviço bem como as reações emocionais e comportamentais dos clientes. Quatro experimentos são conduzidos. Os resultados sugerem que clientes que pensam mais rápido fazem atribuições causais mais externas que clientes que pensam mais devagar. Aparentemente, a velocidade do pensamento não tem efeito nas reações emocionais e comportamentais dos clientes. De acordo com os resultados, as diferenças de velocidade de pensamento que foram induzidas tendem a ter curta duração. Em geral, estas três pesquisas oferecem insights sobre algumas das coisas que os clientes pensam, como eles se sentem e agem em resposta a falhas de serviço. Implicações teóricas e gerenciais são discutidas ao final de cada pesquisa e sintetizadas no capítulo de conclusões.
Given the pervasive nature of service failures and their harmful consequences, it is important to understand how customers react to them. This doctoral dissertation addresses some of the customers’ cognitive, emotional, and behavioral reactions to service failures. More specifically, it investigates customers’ causal attributions, appraisals, and perceived control as cognitive reactions, as well as a wide range of emotional (e.g., regret, anger, disappointment, etc.) and behavioral reactions (e.g., switch, complaint, negative word-of-mouth, and others). This dissertation presents three different researches within the scope of customers’ reactions to service failure. The first research introduces the temporal model of perceived control from psychology to service research and compares its explanatory power for customer emotional and behavioral reactions with the ones of the widely used causal attribution and appraisal models. Three surveys and one experiment are conducted. The results show that for some customers’ reactions (e.g., regret and switch), the temporal model of perceived control has explanatory power over and above the traditionally used causal attribution and appraisal models. This research also shows that the temporal model of perceived control may be combined with the causal attribution and appraisal models to achieve higher explanatory power. The second research investigates whether failed co-produced services lead to more internal or external causal attribution (i.e., whether the blame is attributed to the customer or the service provider) and how it affects customers’ regret, disappointment, and dissatisfaction. Two experiments are conducted. The results indicate that failed co-produced services lead to more internal attributions than failed services that were not co-produced. Failed co-produced services also lead to lower levels of disappointment and dissatisfaction without elevating customer’s regret level. The results also show that in case of causal uncertainty (i.e., when the customer is not sure about who caused the failure), customers who co-produced experience the same high level of regret of customers who have caused the failure, contradicting the literature that states that causal uncertainty leads to reduced emotional intensity. The third research investigates whether customers’ thought speed affects causal locus attribution for services failures as well as customers’ emotional and behavioral reactions. Four experiments are conducted. The results suggest that customers who think faster make more external attributions for service failures (i.e., attribute more blame to the service provider) than customers who think slower. It seems that thought speed has no effect on customers’ emotional and behavioral reactions though. According to the results, the induced differences in thought speed tend to be short-lived. Overall, these three researches offer insights into some of the things that customers think, how do they feel and act in response to service failures. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed at the end of each research and recapitulated in the conclusions chapter.

Abstract:

This descriptive study provides insight on the prevalence of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders (EBD) screening and school psychologists' roles in that screening process in Utah schools. EBD screening plays an important role in implementing Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). An electronic questionnaire was sent to 260 practicing Utah school psychologists. A total of 89 of those school psychologists completed the survey resulting in a 34% participation rate. Twelve percent (n=11) of participants reported that EBD screening was happening in their schools. Participants reported that the lack of resources to address student needs, the lack of administrative support, and the school having too many other concerns were barriers to EBD screening implementation. Survey results also reported that successful EBD screening consisted of a combined effort consisting of teams, administration, and school districts. Additionally, school psychologists reported that their role in EBD screening should mainly be focused on data interpretation and intervention implementation. The goal of this thesis project was to increase awareness of how universal EBD screening was occurring in Utah schools.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a functional relation between the Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy-Based intervention curriculum, Tools for Getting Along (Smith & Daunic, 2012), and Externalizing Behaviors exhibited by students with EBD served in special education. Four students, nominated by their teacher and principal and receiving services in special education for behavioral goals addressing Externalizing Behaviors, participated in this single-subject, multiple-baseline study. Data collected to answer the research question were Systematic Direct Observations, Direct Behavior Ratings, The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (Goodman, 1997), and the Social Problem-Solving Inventory-Revised (D’Zurilla et al. 2002). Participants began receiving Tools for Getting Along instruction in staggered intervals based on their baseline SDO, DBR, and consulting with their special education teacher. The SDQ and SPSI-R:S were administered pre- and post-intervention. Data indicated that although two students showed some improvements on DBR, there was not a functional relation between TFGA and Externalizing Behaviors. However, SDQ and SPSI-R:S sub-scale data did indicate some individual improvements. In addition to individual participant improvements, a number of implications for future research were noted from social validity data completed by the special education teacher, treatment fidelity observations, and in order to address the limitations of the study.

Abstract:

Dans cette thèse nous abordons deux sujets récents de la finance comportementale qui concernent l’optimisation de portefeuille et l’existence d’équilibres dans les marchés financiers. On introduit d’abord des théories développées pour représenter les préférences des agents comportementals. Dans le deuxième chapitre, nous étudions l’optimisation de portefeuille en temps continue pour un agent initié qui suit la Cumulative Prospect Theory (CPT). Nous donnons une solution dans les cas d’information forte, incomplète et faible et nous faisons une comparaison avec un agent qui maximise son utilité espérée (UE). Dans le troisième chapitre, nous étudions des modèles d’équilibre statique dans un marché financier simple. Les agents ont préférences hétérogènes et ils interagissent entre eux. Nous donnons des conditions suffisantes pour l’existence dans le cas d’un agent UE influent, un agent CPT influent et un market maker complaisant. Enfin, le cas de plusieurs agents UE et CPT est considéré
In this thesis we explore two recent topics in behavioral finance, namely portfolio optimization by non-expected utility insiders and existence of equilibria in financial markets populated by heterogeneous agents. Firstly, we review a number of theories which have been used to model behavioral decision makers’ preferences. In the second chapter, we set and solve a portfolio optimization problem in continuous time for an insider trader following Cumulative Prospect Theory (CPT). We provide an analysis in the strong as well as partial and weak information cases and we perform a comparison with respect to an Expected Utility (EU) decision maker. In the third chapter, we study equilibrium models in a one-period stylized financial market where agents with different preference structures can interact. We give sufficient conditions for existence when a large EU, a large CPT investor and an accommodating market maker trade. At last, the case of many EU and many CPT agents is presented

Abstract:

As corporate sponsorship of sporting events becomes a more popular marketing tool, the price tag associated with these sponsorship agreements has steepened considerably. Over the past thirty years, sponsorship has become an integral part of the Olympic Games. In this paper, we employ an event study methodology to assess the impact of both the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games and the performance of Canadian Olympic athletes on the shareholder value of national Olympic sponsors. We hypothesize, in line with current behavioral finance research, that the national Olympic sponsors will capitalize on the positive mood and attention associated with the Games in such a way that Olympic sponsorship will positively impact shareholder value. However, we find that, from a stock return perspective, corporate sponsorship of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games is not a value-adding investment. We find that while the market index is positively impacted by both the Olympic Games and Canadian medalists, there is a negative and significant impact of the Olympic Games on national sponsors. Furthermore, Canadian medalists have a positive impact on the stock returns of three individual sponsors, but these winners' effects are negative for two sponsors and insignificant for another two sponsors.

Abstract:

Screening for emotional and behavioral problems in youth is a well-validated process for elementary-aged children as notable and respected research has provided evidence that children at risk for behavioral and emotional problems can be identified and provided with targeted interventions, which prevent additional problems (Lane, Wehby, & Barton-Arwood, 2005). However, there is a lack of research offering evidence for a behavioral and emotional screening process for high school students. Identifying at-risk youth is a vital component in providing early-intervention services that can remediate problems before they become severe and require resource intensive interventions. This research contributes to the development of a screening measure based on a validated multi-gated screening process for use in high schools. The new measure will be adapted from the Stage 1 of the Systematic Screening for Behavior Disorders (SSBD; Walker & Severson, 1992) used in elementary schools to identify students who are at risk for developing emotional and behavioral disorders. Descriptors of students at-risk for emotional and behavior disorders from Schilling (2009) and a review of items used from common behavior rating scales were used to create a teacher nomination form that will serve as a first gate in the multi-gated screening process. The appropriateness of the descriptors for the teacher nomination form was evaluated by teachers in high schools.

Abstract:

Thesis advisor: Eric Dearing
Increasing evidence indicates that exposure to poverty in early childhood may undermine neural growth that is critical to developing executive functions (EF) and, in turn, emotional and behavioral regulation (Blair et al. 2011; Kim et al., 2013; Raver et al., 2013). There is, however, also increasing evidence indicating that high-quality Early Childhood Education (ECE) (a) buffers children from risks associated with early exposure to poverty and (b) supports healthy socio-emotional development (Bierman et al., 2008; Raver, 2002; Yoshikawa et al., 2013). One line of this intervention work has focused on two-generation programs that pair high-quality ECE with supports for parents that are designed to improve parenting and the home environment. Although evidence on two-generation programs is mixed (Grindal et al., 2016; Neville et al., 2013), it is clear that much of the risk of poverty is relayed to children through their homes, and parenting is among the most critical influences on child emotional and behavioral self-regulation in infancy and early childhood (Bradley & Corwyn, 2004; Calkins & Johnson, 1998; Calkins et al., 1998). The present study builds on existing theoretical and empirical prior work indicating that children’s EF skills are important precursors to emotional and behavioral regulation that may be best promoted when addressed in both classroom and home contexts. Specifically, the present study uses a randomized design to evaluate the effects of classroom-based activities that target children’s executive functioning and the value added by training parents to better support their children’s EFs. Children were evaluated pre- and post-intervention on EF skills and prosocial and adaptive problem-solving behavior. In general, few significant effects of either the child training or the added parent component were evident. These findings are discussed with special attention to the fact that fidelity of implementation of the classroom and parent trainings was low, with less than half of teachers incorporating games at least once a week and only 13 percent of parents attending the trainings. In addition, implications for future empirical work as well as policy and practice are discussed with special attention given to further inquiry into the malleability of EF

Abstract:

Youth with emotional or behavioral disorders (EBD) have poorer outcomes compared to their peers with and without disabilities. As a result, the federal government has mandated transition services to improve supports and ultimately student outcomes. Using data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS-2), this secondary analysis looked at services provided to youth with EBD (n = 410). The purpose of the study was to show a relationship between utilization of multiple services and the attainment of paid employment, and/or attending post-secondary education. Results indicate relationships between receiving financial services, tutoring and educational services and vocational services with attending a post-secondary institution. Logistic regression indicated a relationship between time, age and amount or services with paid employment. These results indicate the need for continuous, systematic and linked services for youth with EBD well into their twenties.

Abstract:

English Language Learners (ELLs) are considered to be at higher risk for developing emotional and behavioral difficulties due to their limited English proficiency. As a result, the present study examined the identification of emotional and behavioral risk (EBR) among ELLs and non-ELLs through the use of universal behavior screening measures. The study consisted of 395 students enrolled in kindergarten through 5th grades, ranging in age from 5 years, 6 months to 12 years, 4 months. Over half of participants (52.4%) were male and a majority (42.8%) identified as Hispanic/Latino(a). Approximately one-fifth (19.7%) of students were classified as ELLs. Teachers completed the electronic version of the BASC-2 Behavioral and Emotional Screening System-Teacher Form (BESS) for each student in their classroom. Demographic student data was provided by the school via the school’s electronic database. Results showed no relationship between ELL status and EBR. However, there was a relationship between gender and the identification of EBR among ELL students, where males demonstrated increased risk levels. In addition, students' reading ability, age, and gender predicted whether ELL and non-ELL students would be identified as at-risk for emotional and behavior problems. Although results did not show a relationship between language proficiency and EBR, ELLs remain a group vulnerable for being identified as at-risk for emotional and behavioral difficulties, due to academic and/or social-emotional problems that they may experience. In practice, schools may want to consider using an integrated approach to conducting universal screening, where schools screen for reading difficulties and behavior concerns, thus allowing them to address a broader range of concerns through early intervention programs.

Abstract:

Degree thesis deals with behavioral finance with a focus on behavior and psychology of an individual investor. The first part is devoted to the prospect theory that is a descriptive model of behavior of economic agents under the conditions of uncertainty and stands in a stark contrast with the traditional normative expected utility theory. The second part is devoted to the group of behavioral biases that are distortions of human thinking and judgment documented by cognitive psychology. These biases are difficult to eliminate and lead to a biased perception, inaccurate judgments and illogical interpretations. The third and final part is devoted to a questionnaire survey whose goal was to find out whether financial market participants behave according to the axioms of the expected utility theory or whether they systemically deviate from the axioms of this normative theory. The second goal of the survey was to confirm or disprove inferences of academic studies about existence of behavioral biases.
