Description
The presented paper examines the left-digit biases of individual and institutional investors using a tick-by-tick dataset from a highly liquid index futures market. Both investor groups exhibit excess buying after the ask falls with a tens-digit decrement, whereas excess selling (buying) is observed only for institutions (individuals) after the bid rises with a tens-digit increment. Such excess buying is generally pronounced when price uncertainty is high, except for institutional excess selling, which is evident when the bidask spread is relatively narrow and on maturity days. Our findings imply that individuals and institutions focus on cognitive reference points but have heterogeneously driven biases.
