The disposition effect in a scopic regime: Data from a laboratory experiment
Abstract
This article presents a new dataset on the disposition effect in a scopic regime, collected in a laboratory experiment reported in “Framing and the disposition effect in a scopic regime” [6]. 81 subjects were recruited and asked to participate in an incentivized stock trading game insprired by Weber and Camerer [7], which was computerized, programmed using oTree [1]. Subjects were able to monitor the trading performance of randomly selected peers in comparison to their own performance. Two sets of rankings were employed to display the comparisons. The data allow to test theories on the impact of social comparisons on investors’ decision making.
