Ross, Zhou Release Working Paper on Documenting Loss Aversion using Evidence of Round Number Bias

Stephen Ross, CFS Affiliate and Professor in the Department of Economics at University of Connecticut, along with his co-author Tingyu Zhou, Assistant Professor in the Department of Risk Management/Insurance, Real Estate, and Legal Studies at Florida State University, release working paper that builds on existing literature documenting loss aversion in the housing market, where expected losses lead to higher sales prices. Ross and Zhou study how exposure to expected losses may correlate with unobservables that influence housing prices.
