| Research Abstract |
This research investigates the following three topics.
First, the inefficiency of bank regulation is analyzed by considering bank regulators' career concerns explicitly. The main difference from existing research is that I consider the situation that bank regulators take into account their own reputation as well as social welfare. The main conclusion of this research is that bank regulators' career concerns generate not only generous regulatory policy but also severe policy. Furthermore, I indicate the some untested empirical implications.
Second, I analyzed theoretically why the ability of information production by Japanese banks declined. The theoretical hypothesis is that overconfidence and self-serving attribution bias of bank management make Japanese banks reluctant to produce information.
Third, the individual investors' behavior is analyzed empirically. In this research, I reviewed previous research on the existence of disposition effect. Next, using trading records of Japanese individual investors, I show the empirical evidence that support the existence of disposition effect on Japanese individual investors.
