摘要:
Source preference is evident when identically distributed risks from different sources of uncertainty are not valued the same (Heath and Tversky, 1991). This has been axiomatized in Chew and Sagi (2008) and investigated experimentally in several follow up papers including Abdellaoui et al. (2011). Using a trailing digit betting design in four experiments, we identify familiarity bias in source preference as an explanation for home bias in international finance that is distinct from ambiguity aversion or informational advantage. The first two studies establish the existence of a strong familiarity bias within an investment context. A third experiment establishes that standard home bias and familiarity bias are of comparable magnitudes. The last study further demonstrates that home bias can be explained, within subject, by familiarity bias but not by ambiguity aversion. The studies consistently point to familiarity bias as a driver of home bias across investment context and subject types.
