The Robustness of Mental Accounting Across 21 Countries
First introduced four decades ago, the influential concept of mental accounting—how people mentally organize, evaluate, and track financial activities—posits that consumers often defy traditional economic rationality, treating money as non-fungible across discrete mental accounts. In this research, we present the first large-scale test of the replicability and generalizability of mental accounting effects, using a sample of 5,589 participants fro…
Mental Capabilities, Heterogeneous Trading Behaviour and Performance in an Experimental Asset Market
We study how variations in two mental capabilities—analytical capability (quantitative reasoning) and mentalising (assessing others’ behaviour)—drive heterogeneity in evaluations of identical information about an asset’s fundamental value and past prices. Our mental framework aligns with regularities observed in experimental asset markets, providing a cognitive basis for heterogeneous trading behaviour. Applied to an experimental market, it predi…
On the economics of superabundant information and scarce attention
This article provides an introduction to the literature addressing the causes and consequences of limited attention in economics. We present a simple set-theoretic micro-structure describing the allocation of attention, and use this framework to explain the central notions of goal—and stimulus—driven attention mechanisms. After presenting empirical evidence on limited attention from psychology, marketing and internet research, we use our baseline…
