Abstract

This study looks at the financial investment behavior of air carriers in Taiwan and the US stock markets. Application of the DHS model via behavioral finance theory indicates a tendency of becoming overly confident in Taiwan's domestic market. It is also known that Taiwanese investors react with excess optimism regardless of market conditions. Availability of private information before and after public announcements has little effect on investment behavior. Contrarily, US investors indicate a lower degree of overconfidence.
