Wiki : Web collaboration by Anja Ebersbach( )

37 editions published between 2005 and 2008 in English and Undetermined and held by 1,078 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"Wikis are web-based applications that allow all users not only to view pages but also to change them. Their simple structure and straightforward operation make them a serious alternative to expensive content management systems and also provide a basis for many applications in the area of collaborative work. We show the practical use of wikis in carrying out projects for users as well as for maintainers. This includes a step-by-step introduction to wiki philosophy, social effects and functions, a survey of their controls and components, and the installation and configuration of the wiki clones MediaWiki and TWiki. In order to exemplify the possibilities of the software, we use it as a project tool for planning a conference."--Jacket

Momentum and turnover : evidence from the German stock market by Markus Glaser( Book )

11 editions published between 2002 and 2011 in English and Undetermined and held by 22 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

This paper analyzes the relation between momentum strategies (strategies that buy stocks with high returns over the previous three to 12 months and sell stocks with low returns over the same period) and turnover (number of shares traded divided by the number of shares outstanding) for the German stock market. Our main finding is that momentum strategies are more profitable among high-turnover stocks. In contrast to US evidence, this result is mainly driven by winners: high-turnover winners have higher returns than low-turnover winners. We present various robustness checks, long-horizon results, evidence on seasonality, and control for size-, book-to-market-, and industry-effects. We argue that our results are useful to empirically evaluate competing explanations for the momentum effect

Overconfidence and trading volume by Markus Glaser( Book )

10 editions published between 2003 and 2007 in English and Undetermined and held by 22 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Theoretical models predict that overconfident investors will trade more than rational investors. We directly test this hypothesis by correlating individual overconfidence scores with several measures of trading volume of individual investors. Approximately 3,000 online broker investors were asked to answer an internet questionnaire which was designed to measure various facets of overconfidence (miscalibration, volatility estimates, better than average effect). The measures of trading volume were calculated by the trades of 215 individual investors who answered the questionnaire. We find that investors who think that they are above average in terms of investment skills or past performance (but who did not have above average performance in the past) trade more. Measures of miscalibration are, contrary to theory, unrelated to measures of trading volume. This result is striking as theoretical models that incorporate overconfident investors mainly motivate this assumption by the calibration literature and model overconfidence as underestimation of the variance of signals. In connection with other recent findings, we conclude that the usual way of motivating and modeling overconfidence which is mainly based on the calibration literature has to be treated with caution. Moreover, our way of empirically evaluating behavioral finance models - the correlation of economic and psychological variables and the combination of psychometric measures of judgment biases (such as overconfidence scores) and field data - seems to be a promising way to better understand which psychological phenomena actually drive economic behavior

On the trend recognition and forecasting ability of professional traders by Markus Glaser( Book )

8 editions published between 2003 and 2008 in English and Undetermined and held by 19 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Empirical research documents that temporary trends in stock price movements exist so that riding a trend can be a profitable investment strategy. In this paper, we provide a thorough test of the trend recognition and forecasting ability of financial professionals who work in the trading room of a large bank and novices (students). In an experimental study using a within-subject design, we analyze two ways of trend prediction that have analogues in the real world: probability estimates and confidence intervals (quantile estimates). We find that depending on the type of task either underconfidence (in probability estimates) or overconfidence (in confidence intervals) can be observed in the same trend prediction setting based on the same information. Furthermore, we find that the degree of overconfidence in both tasks is significantly positively correlated for all experimental subjects. These findings do not only contribute to the literature on judgmental forecasting but also have important implications for financial modeling. This paper demonstrates that a theorist has to be careful when deriving assumptions about the behavior of agents in financial markets from psychological findings
