ABSTRACT: We study the relationship between heuristics and the
performance of financial institutions in South Sudan using measures of
institutional performance and heuristics. Using the ARDL model, we establish
that heuristics indicators such as anchoring, availability, and halo effect
negatively and significantly affect the performance of financial institutions
while disaster neglect and overconfidence seem not to significantly exactly
influence the performance of financial institutions in South Sudan. On the
other hand, confirmation seems to significantly affect the performance of
financial institutions in the country.
