Course Information
Description
This course provides a broad introduction to behavioral finance with a focus on asset pricing, belief formation, and nonstandard preferences. We study deviations from canonical rational expectations theories and explore empirical applications. We focus primarily on the behavior of individual investors, the behavior of institutional investors, and asset pricing, with some brief exploration of applications to corporate finance.
