Content

The lecture course gives a systematic treatment of behavioral finance starting from the arguments - limits to arbitrage and investor psychology - on which the approach is based on. Important concepts are heuristics, representativeness, overconfidence, anchoring, mental accounting, and disposition effect. The lecture course gives a thorough treatment of the key theories including the behavioral asset pricing theory by Shefrin and the prospect theory. Discussion of empirical evidence covers option markets, yield curve determination, and behavioral corporate finance in addition to the stock markets.
