Pełny opis:

One of the most important changes that took place in economics at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries was the increase in the importance of psychology, which contributed to the birth of behavioral finance. Representatives of behavioral finance try to explain the irrational economic behavior, especially among stock market investors. During this course students will learn the basic concepts of behavioral finance, referring to the occurrence of irrational behaviors among investors (the so-called behavioral biases), as well as the stock market anomalies caused by the latter. In addition, students will discover the latest applications of the behavioral trend in economics regarding whether psychology can help economists to prevent economic crises. Finally, students will find out whether and how can we take advantage of our irrationality in our everyday life.
