Second research paper “Loss Aversion Is a State, Not Just a Trait” published on SSRN
Our second paper, co-authored with Associate Professor Ryosuke Fujitani (Hitotsubashi University ICS), reports a preregistered field experiment with 143 participants measured under normal and crisis framing in a single session. Loss aversion rose by about 25% under stress, and nearly half of those most loss-averse under stress were not identifiable from normal-state measurement. The paper supplies the field evidence for the state-dependent framework introduced in “Beyond FICO”.
Pensata is now fully focused on behavioral credit infrastructure for emerging markets, powered by the BYLAS™ Engine. Our Japan enterprise engagements continue unchanged as our deployment and research base.
