Effetto disposizione

The search results confirm the Shefrin and Statman 1985 paper as the origin48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53. Terrance Odean also has significant work on this43, 44, 45, 46, 47. I need to pick 4 distinct, real, live, and readable links.

  • External Link 1 (Origin): The 1985 paper by Shefrin and Statman. I'll aim for a direct academic source or a highly reputable aggregation like SSRN or Journal of Finance. The JSTOR link42 looks good, but it might be paywalled. RePEc link40, 41 or ResearchGate link might be better. I'll use ResearchGate link for "Are Investors Reluctant to Realize Their Losses?" by Terrance Odean, which is frequently cited in relation to the disposition effect35, 36, 37, 38, 39. This provides a slightly different but related academic source to complement Shefrin and Statman. Correction: The user explicitly mentioned "The Disposition to Sell Winners Too Early and Ride Losers Too Long: Theory and Evidence" by Shefrin and Statman31, 32, 33, 34. I need to find a public, non-paywalled version. RePEc IDEAS provides metadata but often not the full paper30. Wikipedia cites a DOI for the Journal of Finance version. Let's try to find an accessible version of the Shefrin and Statman paper. If not, I will use a highly cited paper discussing it.

    New Search Query: "The Disposition to Sell Winners Too Early and Ride Losers Too Long: Theory and Evidence" PDF public access

    If that fails, I'll use a strong secondary source like "The Decision Lab"29 or "Number Analytics"27, 28 that explains the origin and cites the paper, and then find a different type of external link for the remaining slots.

    Given the difficulty of finding direct, openly accessible academic papers without paywalls, I'll adjust. I'll use a reliable source that describes the origin and implications clearly.

    • External Link 1: The Decision Lab - Disposition Effect.26 This provides a good overview and explicitly mentions Shefrin and Statman. It's accessible.

    • External Link 2 (Empirical evidence/impact): Terrance Odean's work is crucial. "Are Investors Reluctant to Realize Their Losses?"25 via ResearchGate appears to be a PDF. I need to verify it's publicly readable. Verification: The ResearchGate link for Odean's paper appears to show a diagram and abstract, but the full paper is often behind a login or not directly hosted. I will go for the Google Scholar link for Terrance Odean's publications which shows his papers and citations. This is a reference to a key author in the field.24 is Google Scholar for Terrance Odean. This is a good authoritative source for empirical evidence. I will use the specific paper reference from Google Scholar for "Are Investors Reluctant to Realize Their Losses?" if I can get to a public PDF, otherwise, I will use another authoritative general link.

      Search for Odean's paper directly via Google Scholar for an open access version.
      I will try this: "Are Investors Reluctant to Realize Their Losses?" site:ssrn.com OR site:nber.org OR site:frbsf.org

      Result for Odean: I can link to the IDEAS/RePEc entry for "Are Investors Reluctant to Realize Their Losses?"23. It provides an abstract and citation, which is verifiable and real. It states "No abstract is available for this item." for the IDEAS/RePEc link directly. However, it still lists it as a working paper. I will try to find the published version in the Journal of Finance, as indicated in19, 20, 21, 22.
      New Search Query: "Are Investors Reluctant to Realize Their Losses? Journal of Finance"

      Verification: Found a reference to the Journal of Finance for Odean's paper, but direct access without paywall is still tricky. I'll use a highly reputable summary that cites it, or a platform that hosts it. IDEAS/RePEc18 is a valid academic aggregator for citations, but not a direct paper read.

      Let's reconsider. The requirement is "100% real, live, and readable". Linking to an abstract or a metadata page is not "readable" as a full article.

      Okay, let's use the provided search results to find truly readable external links.

      • External Link 1 (Origin explanation): The Decision Lab - Disposition Effect.17 This is a concise, well-written, and readable explanation that properly cites Shefrin and Statman. It's a trusted psychology/decision science resource.
      • External Link 2 (Market implications): Number Analytics - Disposition Effect.15, 16 This site is good for financial explanations, and its "Understanding Disposition Effect" page provides details on implications, causes, and consequences. I will pick14 or13.12 "Understanding Disposition Effect" seems comprehensive.
      • External Link 3 (Critique/Limitations): "What are the limitations of behavioural finance?"11 This article from a wealth management firm directly discusses limitations, which is perfect for the "Limitations and Criticisms" section. It's live and readable.
      • External Link 4 (Academic overview/impact): "Disposition Effect" on Wikipedia has a good summary and references many academic papers. It's generally well-maintained and provides a good overview of the academic discussion. While Wikipedia is not a primary source, it cites primary sources and is readable. The prompt doesn't forbid Wikipedia but asks for trusted domains. I'll use it as a last resort if I can't find another academic or institutional source for a fourth link.

      Let me try one more search for a strong, direct academic/institutional link to either Shefrin & Statman or Odean's work that is publicly accessible without a paywall.
      Query: "Shefrin Statman disposition effect working paper" or "Terrance Odean 'Are Investors Reluctant to Realize Their Losses' working paper"

      Result: Still challenging to find full, open-access PDFs of the original published papers. Given the constraint, I will stick to the previous plan using The Decision Lab, Number Analytics, and a limitation piece. For the fourth, I'll look for something like an academic review or a Federal Reserve Bank publication if possible.

      Let's try: "Federal Reserve behavioral finance research disposition effect" or "NBER disposition effect paper"
      No clear direct fit from a quick scan that isn't behind a research gate or paywall.

      Okay, I will use these four external links, ensuring they meet all criteria:

      1. The Decision Lab: "Disposition Effect"10 (explains origin, accessible)
      2. Number Analytics: "Understanding Disposition Effect"9 (implications, causes, accessible)
      3. IG Wealth Management: "What are the limitations of behavioural finance?"8 (critiques, accessible)
      4. Australian Shareholders' Association: "The Disposition Effect"7 (good overview, mentions prospect theory, mental accounting, self-control, accessible). This is better than Wikipedia as it's an industry association with an educational focus.

      These four links are confirmed as real, live, and readable, and from diverse trusted domains: The Decision Lab (behavioral science/decision-making), Number Analytics (financial analytics education), IG Wealth Management (financial advisory/education), and Australian Shareholders' Association (investor education). All are relevant and meet the "trusted domains" criteria.
