All That Glitters: The Effect of Attention and News on the Buying Behavior of Individual and Institutional Investors
We test and confirm the hypothesis that individual investors are net buyers of attention-grabbing stocks, e.g., stocks in the news, stocks experiencing high abnormal trading volume, and stocks with extreme one-day returns. Attention-driven buying results from the difficulty that investors have searching the thousands of stocks they can potentially buy. Individual investors do not face the same search problem when selling because they tend to sell…
Boys will be Boys: Gender, Overconfidence, and Common Stock Investment
Theoretical models predict that overconfident investors trade excessively. We test this prediction by partitioning investors on gender. Psychological research demonstrates that, in areas such as finance, men are more overconfident than women. Thus, theory predicts that men will trade more excessively than women.

The Finance Conception of Control--"The Theory That Ate New York?" Reply to Fligstein
reaffirm our conclusions, theoretical framework, and interpretation of results pertaining to acquisition of firms in 1960s, showing how Fligstein mischaracterizes each of these components of our paper. We maintain that our framework of organization analysis, which focuses on interests and capacities of corporate elites, is compatible with Fligstein's proposed institutional, historical approach. However, we contend that Fligstein's finance concept…
