Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Understanding agents’ behaviour is essential for creating efficient, inclusive, and resilient financial systems that cater to the needs of individuals and society as a whole. Therefore, it is crucial to delve into the latest advancements and inventive solutions in the field of behavioural finance and economics, with a specific emphasis on consumer behaviour. This Special Issue aims to collect innovative research that tackles issues related to consumer behaviour encountered by finance organizations, providing valuable insights for scholars, professionals, and policymakers.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Financial decision making and its implications;
  • Risk-taking behaviour in the context of global shocks;
  • Insights into spending, saving, and investment behaviours;
  • The impact of cognitive biases on consumer financial choices;
  • The role of emotions in economic behaviour and financial markets;
  • Technological advancements and their effect on consumer financial decisions.

Join us in advancing the frontier of behavioural finance and economics to deepen the understanding of how human behaviour shapes economic realities in the modern era.

This study investigates tax compliance patterns among individuals in Romania through a survey-based approach, aiming to comprehend factors influencing taxpayers’ behavior, including perception towards taxation, ethics, evasion, and public awareness. The insights garnered can inform policy decisions to enhance compliance rates. Additionally, it contributes to the tax compliance literature by examining unique Romanian context factors. The study delves into taxpayers’ opinions to discern specific views and behaviors within broader societal and economic transformations. A questionnaire was developed and administered online from April to June 2023, with a sample size of 185 respondents. A logistic regression model was constructed using the collected data to analyze the effects on tax compliance. The findings suggest that individuals comply with tax obligations when they perceive their contributions enhance public services and when the tax system aligns with their preferences. Surprisingly, a higher education level correlates with lower tax compliance, emphasizing the importance of targeted interventions and educational campaigns. This underscores the necessity for effective communication about the societal benefits of paying taxes. Policymakers should tailor awareness campaigns to inform higher-educated individuals about the significance of tax compliance and its impact on public goods. This ensures a more informed populace and promotes voluntary compliance with tax regulations. Full article

This paper examines the quantile connectedness between Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), housing market sentiment, and stock market sentiment in the U.S. over the period between January 2014 and June 2022 using the quantile vector autoregression (QVAR) model. We find modest spillover effects at the median quantile (8.51%), which become more pronounced at the extreme tails (between 50.51% and 59.73%). The COVID-19 pandemic amplifies these interconnections. REITs are net receivers at the median but net transmitters at extreme quantiles, while stock market sentiment mainly transmits during normal conditions and receives in highly bullish markets. Home purchase sentiment shifts from fluctuating roles before the pandemic to being a net transmitter post-2021. Overall, negative shocks have a greater impact than positive ones, and REITs exhibit stock-like behavior. These findings underscore the importance for fund managers and investors to consider sentiment volatility in both stock and real estate markets, especially during extreme market conditions.
