Empirical Evidence of Anchoring Effect in Litigations
主讲人 Kong-Pin Chen 简介 <p><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Abstract:&nbsp;<span lang="EN-US">Given its wide acceptance, it is surprising that the empirical, rather than experimental, evidence for anchoring effect is rare and inconclusive. We offer the first large-scale court evidence for anchoring in judicial decision-making. Using Taiwan&rsquo;s court cases on trespassing, matched with transaction data of lands and another dataset on judge experience, we provide evidence that the plaintiff&rsquo;s claim strongly anchors the court&rsquo;s judgment: Both the plaintiff&rsquo;s claim and defendant&rsquo;s counter-claim significantly influence the decisions of the less-experienced judges, but not the more-experienced judges. Therefore, we not only provide evidence for anchoring in litigation, but also suggest experience as a crucial debiaser.</span></span></span></p>
