Anchoring, Client Pressure and Assessor\'s Behavioral Property Research

Chen (2002) demonstrated that the assess-ratio between each county is quite different, from 16% to 87%, although the related laws are the same. From the viewpoint of Real Estate Appraiser Law, more than 90% counties need to pay attention for their OLV.

Previous references only indicated the institutional problems; the research on assessor’s behavior is short. This study, based upon literature review, will adopt behavioral research to investigate the first-line assessors and use controlled experiment for two topics, anchoring and client pressure. According to the findings we will present the results and conclusions.
