2024 - 2025

Speaker: Alberta Di Giuli (ESCP).

Title: “The Effects of Hype and Social Preferences on Crypto Investing ”.

joint with Hans Degryse, Naciye Sekerci and Francesco Stradi (all KU Leuven) 

Date: Thursday, 13 March at 12h00 (Paris Time).

Abstract:  By using a survey and a pre-registered incentivized experiment, we provide evidence on the role of hype and social preferences on crypto investing. Our survey shows that crypto investors are more likely to be influenced by hype and exhibit lower social preferences. Our experiment helps us establish causal relationships: the hype treatment increased the crypto investment amount, while the social treatments (i.e., information on crypto’s environmental impact and association with illegal activities) decreased the amount invested. Overall, our study helps to understand what has encouraged and hampered crypto investing.
