Behavioral Biases and Incentive Structure of Japanese Institutional Investors investigated relation of both explicit and implicit incentives with behavioral biases based upon the survey data of questionnaire conducted in 2005 and 2003. Longer working and research hours a week mitigates the fund managers' behavioral biases. However, we did not find the fact which indicates the Japanese fund management companies have appropriate internal incentive structure for fund managers.

When does a noise trader affects stock prices? An experimental study creates laboratory stock market in which informed traders and noise traders co-exist. Their laboratory results suggest that stock prices are vulnerable to noisy information in the financial market.
Index Fund and Liquidity : Empirical and Experimental Examination examines the pattern of pricing before/after two important changes of the passive investment guideline and the timing of benchmark index revisions. The changes affect a behavior of hedge fund who provides liquidity at the events. An experimental study shows that profitability of hedged fund strategy is reduced after an index fund behavior becomes less predictable, market liquidity is lowered and it results in higher cost of rebalancing for index funds.
