Journal Article
Quispe-Torreblanca, E., Hume, D., Gathergood, J., Loewenstein, G., & Stewart, N. (in press). At the Top of the Mind: Peak Prices and the Disposition Effect. Journal of Political Economy Microeconomics,

The disposition effect is the reluctance to sell assets at a loss relative to a salient point of reference, typically assumed to be the purchase price.
