Economic Socialization

Research background: Globalization, digitalization and growth of technological innovations trigger development of new financial services, such as real estate crowdfunding. Seeking better return opportunities individual investors often disregard neoclassical decision-making criteria, while behavioral factors, such as social influence, emotions, cognitive abilities are gaining importance. This paper addresses the role of family economics socialization as a complex process by which individuals acquire social skills, knowledge, behavior patterns needed to make investment decision by purposively or spontaneously interacting with their family members. Purpose of the article is to assess if and how family economic socialization impacts on investor behavior in real estate crowdfunding. Methods: Research data was collected through an online survey of Lithuanian real estate crowdfunding investors. Then structural equation modeling technique was employed to investigate the impact of family economic socialization on behavior of real estate crowdfunding investors. Findings & Value added: Findings revealed that majority of real estate crowdfunding investors make bounded rationality investment decisions. Family, as one of the main agents of the economic socialization, does not ensure rationality of the crowdfunding decision-making process. Purposive family economic socialization has no impact on the behavior of investors with bounded rationality, yet it has a significant impact on behavior of rational family members. Spontaneous family economic socialization proved to have a positive and significant impact on the behavior of investors with bounded rationality. Taking into consideration rapid global development of innovative financial services market, such results might be a troubling signal for the product developers and market regulators.

Behavioural Finance has gained a lot more importance in recent era. In the fast moving world where the standard finance fails to explain the irrational behavior of the investors, behavioural finance tries to identify the cause for such behavior which otherwise called as behavioural anomalies. The purpose of this research paper is to identify such anomalies and also to examine whether the behavioural biases has any influence in the investment decision making by the retail investors. This paper also put an emphasis to find out which among the different biases has the most and least influence on the individual investment decision making process.

The Impact

Default is the most critical concern in any financial market. We study the ripple effects of borrower’s default behavior in online peer-to-peer lending with a longitudinal and comprehensive dataset consisting of 347,752 loan listings. Previous studies researched several variables that determine the default risk. We examine how both online and offline friendship networks affect borrower’s default behaviors. We found the borrowers are significantly impacted by the default behaviors of their social networks. The borrowers who have defaulter friends are twice likely to default than the borrowers who do not have. Nevertheless, not all friend types have equal influences. The impact is stronger for online friends while much weaker for offline friends. We further explain that default records could harm a person’s social image and cause social stigma costs. This study is one of the first to investigate the default decision-making in online financial market. It has significant theoretical and practical contributions to grasp the borrower’s default behaviors and further diminish default risk to stabilize the financial market.

Investment Behaviour

Investments made by investors contribute to both inflow and outflow of funds in the capital market. Investment decision making is complex due to its uncertain behaviour. In literature, there is evidence of a gap between intention and behaviour among other aspects of human behaviour like consumer buying behaviour. Therefore, this study explores the intention–behaviour gap in investment behaviour of retail investors by examining the effect of two moderators, namely risk propensity (RP) and opinion of stakeholders (OPI). The present study also focuses on identifying financial and non-financial factors influencing equity investment intention (EII) and measures its impact on equity investment behaviour (EIB). A model is, thus, conceptualized and hypotheses have been developed accordingly. For validation of the model, a set of primary data of retail investors is collected (through questionnaire framing) and the hypotheses are tested by using advanced statistical techniques, namely structural equation modelling. The outcomes of this study signify the impact of EII that catapults behavioural approach in investment decision making for any potential investor in the near future.
