Course description

This course provides an introduction to behavioural finance, a discipline that integrates insights from psychology into the study of finance. There will be a focus on understanding the psychological underpinnings of financial decision-making as well as the institutional frictions that may allow these psychological mechanisms to influence economic outcomes. Applications include the pricing of assets relative to fundamental value, trading strategies, managerial behaviour, and household savings and investment decisions.
