  • Extreme Stress and Investor Behavior: Evidence from a Natural Experiment
    Extreme stress and investor behavior: Evidence from a natural experiment Vikas Agarwal, Georgia State University Pulak Ghosh, Indian Institute of Management Bangalore Haibei Zhao, Lehigh University August 2019 Abstract We use the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks as a natural experiment to examine how exposure to extreme stress affects financial decision making, as measured by investors’ stock trading activity and performance. We find that Mumbai investors trade less, perform worse, take longer time to react to corporate news announcement, are less likely to initiate trades on new stocks, and perform worse on familiar stocks compared with other traders. Collectively, our findings are most consistent with impairment of cognitive ability after exposure to prolonged and extreme stress.

  • Evidence from Terrorist Attacks
    Violence and investor behavior: Evidence from terrorist attacks Vikas Agarwal Georgia State University Pulak Ghosh Indian Institute of Management Bangalore Haibei Zhao Lehigh University December 2018 Abstract We use terrorist attacks as a natural experiment to examine the effect of violence on investors’ trading behavior in the stock market. Using a large-scale dataset of daily trading records of millions of investors, we find that investors located in the areas more affected by the attacks tend to trade less and perform worse compared with their peers. This effect does not seem to be driven by the changes in asset fundamentals, risk preferences, lack of attention, local bias, or trader experience, but instead by the impairment of cognitive ability due to fear and stress after exposures to violence.

    INTRODUCTION Indian Railways (reporting mark IR) is an Indian state-owned enterprise, owned and operated by the government of India through the Ministry of Railways. It is one of the world's largest railway networks comprising 115,000 km (71,000 mi) of track over a route of 65,000 km (40,000 mi) and 7,500 stations. As of December 2012, it transported over 25 million passengers daily (over 9 billion on an annual basis). In 2011, IR carried over 8,900 million passengers annually or more than 24 million passengers daily (roughly half of which were suburban passengers) and 2.8 million tons of freight daily. In 2011-2012 Indian Railways earned 104,278.79 crore (US$18.98 billion) which consists of 69,675.97 crore (US$12.68 billion) from freight and 28,645.52 crore (US$5.21 billion) from passengers tickets. Railways were first introduced to India in 1853 from Bombay to Thane. In 1951 the systems were nationalized as one unit, the Indian Railways, becoming one of the largest networks in the world.
