A Model of Overconfidence [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009 AbstractPeople use information about their ability to choose tasks. If more challenging tasks provide more accurate information about ability, people who care about and who are risk averse over their perception of their ability will choose tasks that are not sufficiently challenging.

AbstractWe examine overconfident chief executive officer (CEO) directors and find they attend more board meetings, are more likely to serve on the nominating or the compensation committee, have more independent directorships, and foster higher attendance rates on boards.

Review of Financial Studies, 1997
We develop a multiperiod market model describing both the process by which traders learn about their ability and how a bias in this learning can create overconfident traders. A trader in our model initially does not know his own ability. He infers this ability from his successes and failures.

Academy of Management Proceedings, 2007
We study three distinct measures of overconfidence: (1) overestimation of one's performance, (2) overplacement of one's performance relative to others, and (3) overprecision in one's belief about private signals. A new set of experiments verifies a strong negative link between overestimation and overprecision that depends crucially on task difficulty ...

Overconfidence and investment: An experimental approach [PDF]
Journal of Corporate Finance, 2017 A positive relation between overconfidence and investment provision has been theoretically justified and practically assumed in the literature, but has not been thoroughly investigated. We test and confirm this positive relation between direct measures of overconfidence in one's financial knowledge and choice of investment.

Gender and overconfidence: are girls really overconfident?
Applied Economics Letters, 2011Previous research finds that people are overconfident and that men are more overconfident than women. Using a very precise confidence measure, this article shows, however, that whereas boys are overconfident, girls are actually underconfident regarding their mathematics performance.

A study of expert overconfidence
Reliability Engineering and System Safety, 2008Overconfidence is one of the most common (and potentially severe) problems in expert judgment. To assess the extent of expert overconfidence, we analyzed a large data set on expert opinion compiled by Cooke and colleagues at the Technical University of Delft and elsewhere.

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009 Many studies have shown that people display an apparent overconfidence. In particular, it is common for a majority of people to describe themselves as better than average. The literature takes for granted that this better-than-average effect is problematic.

Overconfidence In Overconfidence
1991Displays of “calibration curves” - very well replicated results of probability ratings on two-alternative knowledge questions - are often interpreted as an indication of human “overconfidence”. Several influential researchers see this phenomenon as another instance of selfserving and theory confirming biases. This interpretation of the empirical result
