ECON134E CM - Behavioral Finance

The traditional framework for thinking about financial markets assumes that all market participants are fully rational. The past four decades have seen the emergence of an important new paradigm, behavioral finance, which argues that many financial phenomena are the result of less than fully rational thinking. In this course, you will cover the building blocks of behavioral finance (limits to arbitrage, psychology) and then move onto applications. The primary objective of this course is to learn how psychology influences financial markets.
