Abstract:   (3 Views)
This research examines the influence of prospect theory on stock returns during a stock price bubble period in companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. The study, which analyzed data from 120 companies between 2007 and 2021, utilized the Fama-Macbeth regression method. Findings reveal a notable difference in excess returns between companies experiencing a stock price bubble and those that are not. However, there was no significant variance in excess returns across different portfolios based on the prospect theory value. When combining portfolios based on both prospect theory and stock price bubble presence, companies with a high prospect theory value demonstrated significantly higher additional returns in non-bubble conditions compared to those with a low prospect theory value. Conversely, during a stock price bubble, companies with a high prospect theory value experienced significantly lower additional returns than those with a low prospect theory value.
