Academic Year 2021/2022
Behavioural Finance applies the theoretical and experimental methodologies and results of the cognitive sciences to questions concerning the ways in which individuals actually make financial decisions, in contrast to the traditional idealized economic models of choice behaviour. It also considers the impact of various individual psychological phenomena on aggregate market behaviour, addressing issues such as market efficiency and financial crises.Show/hide contentOpenClose All
