Text Sophistication and Sophisticated Investors
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019We show that two novel measures of text sophistication, applied to hedge fund strategy descriptions, encapsulate incremental information about funds. Consistent with the linguistics literature, hedge funds with lexically diverse strategy descriptions outperform, eschew tail risk, and encounter fewer regulatory problems.

Sophisticated Learning and Learning Sophistication
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2003We test the population rule learning model for symmetric normal-form games, and strongly reject: (i) no rule learning, (ii) no diversity, and (iii) no sophisticated evidence. Further, trembles and herd behavior decline and level-2 behavior increases over time.

Many financial situations present individuals with simple alternatives to solving complex problems. The value of these alternatives depends on whether individuals are sophisticated and know when they are better off opting out of complexity. We tested complexity's effects and evaluated sophistication in a large and diverse sample.

On two occasions in “Alchimie du verbe”, Rimbaud refers to the poems of the spring of 1872 and the “Voyelles” sonnet as sophisms. A literary recollection, the term sophism covers the entirety of hallucinatory stylistic creative processes. It reflects Rimbaud’s ambiguous judgement of his own poetics, underling the risk of the banalisation threatening ...

AbstractSophistication can be a virtue. Cynics lay claim to it; it allows one to settle for and negotiate the reality of mixed emotions; moreover, the refusal to stereotype or simplify things in the attempt to see them for what they unobviously are, belongs to the truthfulness needed for sound emotion.

Through a series of

Sophisticated Strategic Choice
New Mathematics and Natural Computation, 2015We consider two-stage strategic choice problems in which a decision maker first chooses a strategy and subsequently an alternative from a nonempty subset of feasible alternatives that may depend on the strategy chosen in the first period. The preferences over alternatives that the decision maker starts out with may change after a strategy is chosen ...
