Behavioral Financial Economics

ECON-6340

This course describes how individuals and firms make financial decisions, and how those decisions might deviate from those predicted by traditional financial or economic theory. The course examines how the insights of behavioral economics complement the traditional finance paradigm by introducing some of the main psychological biases in financial decision-making and examining the impacts of these biases in financial markets and other financial settings. It will also introduce students to behavioral and experimental methodologies in finance, economics, and other disciplines.
