We find that increased housing wealth leads to exacerbated counts of self-reported health conditions. However, objective biomarker indicators only point to a negative effect on lung functionality. Other objective indicators, such as mortality and stroke, also point to the null effects. One explanation for such a discrepancy is that wealth not only has a direct impact on health but may also increase the possibility of having a health condition diagnosed. These hypotheses are also supported by our findings that increased housing wealth is accompanied by more frequent healthcare use. The negative effect of housing wealth on lung health, as indicated by both objective and subjective measures, can be attributed to worsened smoking habits. The results of our paper highlight several important biases that arise when the diagnostic effect is ignored in using subjective health indicators.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"237 ","pages":"Article 107123"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144656527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It examines how Wen’s public statements—opinions expressed without specific policy details—affected the stock performance of real estate firms listed on the mainland Chinese stock market. Event study results show that these speeches significantly affect stock performance, with stock prices rising 7.53% above normal levels and trading volumes surging. In contrast, the same speeches had no discernible impact on the stock performance of mainland housing firms listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, despite their substantial revenue from the mainland market. This divergence cannot be explained by differences in information availability, investor composition or firm characteristics. Rather, evidence supports that it stems from different belief updating processes: mainland investors assign high predictive value to political rhetoric, while Hong Kong investors, conditioned by their distinct institutional experiences, discount such speeches as weak predictors of actual policy implementation. The findings underscore the critical role of local investors’ perceptions, shaped by cultural and institutional contexts, in shaping market responses to political rhetoric.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"236 ","pages":"Article 107122"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144614202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sophisticated bidders have two primary reasons to snipe: the potential presence of irrational bidders (behavioral reasons), and a desire to conceal information about private signals in a common-values setting (rational reasons). We identify the share of sniping driven solely by behavioral reasons by estimating sniping prevalence in auctions for new iPhones, which are assumed to have independent private values (IPV). We compare this to observed sniping in auctions for used iPhones in a variety of conditions, all of which have an uncertain common-values component, and develop a simple theoretical model showing that rational and behavioral reasons are complements in driving bidder behavior. Our results suggest that sniping driven by behavioral considerations occurs roughly 54 percent of the time in an average IPV auction and that sniping is significantly more common in auctions with a common-values component.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"236 ","pages":"Article 107119"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144605205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We hypothesize that memory limitations play a crucial role in explaining these sub-optimal levels of technology adoption. We test this hypothesis in the context of cattle disease prevention and management among smallholder farmers in east Africa. If farmers under-remember cattle health events, this will reduce their incentive to invest in preventive technologies. We implemented a field experiment in western Kenya to study if relieving memory constraints increases demand for a livestock disease prevention technology. We trained and incentivized study participants to keep simple written records of cattle disease events, health expenditures, and milk production outcomes for a period of three months. We then provided a paper template to help summarize the information in the record books. We find this intervention nearly doubled demand for the preventive technology, and evidence suggests that the record-keeping increased recall of disease events. This paper provides evidence that memory may serve as a barrier to technology adoption and our intervention can serve as a low-cost way of increasing take-up of productive technologies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"236 ","pages":"Article 107118"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144589061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
