Wikipedia - Behavioral Finance
Filed Under Market Psychology |
Behavioral finance and behavioral economics are closely related fields which apply scientific research on human and social cognitive and emotional biases to better understand economic decisions and how they affect market prices, returns and the allocation of resources. The fields are primarily concerned with the rationality, or lack thereof, of economic agents. Behavioral models typically integrate insights from psychology with neo-classical economic theory.
Behavioral analyses are mostly concerned with the effects of decisions, but also those of public choice, another source of economic decisions with some similar biases.
