Judgments Based on Stocks and Flows: Different Presentations of the Same Data Can Lead to Opposing Inferences
Financial decisions are often informed by how a quantity (e.g., money) changes over time. In common situations, we find stark differences in judgments made from the same underlying data when it is presented as a stock (e.g., wealth/debt; number of jobs) or the equivalent flow (e.g., income/expenditures; jobs gained/lost).
