本文提供的证据表明,企业表现出行为偏差,他们的增长预期。使用公司层面的调查数据,我们的文件,乐观和悲观偏见产生的商业周期,金融市场条件,和公司的具体因素,包括公司的过去经验。我们还证明了偏见会影响企业的真实的商业决策。企业的固定资产投资和研发支出受乐观情绪的影响而上升,受悲观情绪的影响而下降。上述研究结果表明,企业产生的行为偏差可以作为宏观经济和金融条件影响其投资行为的一种替代机制,而不是传统的优化机制。
This paper provides evidence that firms exhibit behavioral biases in their growth expectations. Using firm-level survey data, we document that optimism and pessimism biases are generated by the business cycle, financial market conditions, and firm-specific factors including firms' past experiences. We also demonstrate that biases affect the real business decisions of firms. Firms' fixed investment and R&D spending are raised by optimism and hampered by pessimism. The above findings imply that behavioral biases generated by the firms can be an alternative mechanism on how macroeconomic and financial conditions affect their investment behavior in addition to the traditional optimization mechanism.
