The impact of current-valued data on the predictive judgments of investors
Article Abstract:
A human data processing experiment was conducted to examine the effect of replacement cost on investors' predictive judgments. Historic cost or replacement cost data were provided to both sophisticated and unsophisticated investors, or both types of data were given. The investors were asked to predict share price performance for drug and chemical stocks. It was found that replacement cost data led to lower accuracy, as well as consensus among users, and that the poorer performance was probably tied to replacement cost data usage more so than to information load.
