| Abstract (PDF, 14 KB) | |||||
| Summary / Zusammenfassung | Rumors are a fascinating phenomenon. In this project we want to analyze how they effect financial decisions and asset prices. When and how does the market react to rumors? When do rumors have long-lasting effects? For the phenomenon of rumors it is important to know "who knows what when?". This is however impossible to keep track off in a real market. Therefore, we will analyze rumors in a controlled enviromnent, i.e. in laboratory experiments. In particular we want to study the endogenous creation of information networks that traders use to check the validity of rumors they have heard. | ||||
