Pavlo Blavatskyy and Ganna Pogrebna

Economics Letters, 2009, vol. 104, issue 1, 43-45

Abstract: In this paper we reexamine several experimental papers on myopic loss aversion by analyzing individual rather than aggregate choice patterns. We find that the behavior of the majority of subjects is inconsistent with the hypothesis of myopic loss aversion.
