I guess the authors are saying that traders are averse to doing this. I agree "short sell" is probably not the best terminology. Daniel,

So I do not get the sentence "This suggests some traders may be adverse to short selling securities." on page 7. Your help is very appreciated Daniel Hi guys,

can anyone of you please paraphrase the short aversion bias in the google markets for me? The IEM software does not allow short selling as stated on page 4. So I do not get the sentence “This suggests some traders may be adverse to short selling securities.” on page 7.

Your help is very appreciated
