Abstract

This paper investigates the effects of limiting the evaluation period in a typical experiment to measure myopic loss aversion (MLA). We corroborate previous results and found that the aggregation effect had diminishing returns. This indicates that there is a point where limiting investor access to the results of the portfolio ceases to yield a significant MLA. We also found evidence of a learning process occurring during the experiment.
