Behavioral Biases Affecting Investment Decision Making
The human brain is not a rational economic actor. When faced with uncertainty, even the best investing minds may throw good money after bad, sell at the first sign of trouble or make muddled financial decisions. These flaws in our everyday decision-making, first chronicled in the 1970s by Israeli psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, gave rise to the field known as behavioral economics, which aims to mitigate the effects of these embarrassing weaknesses by intensifying our awareness of them in this very interactive session on Behavioral Finance & Investment Decision Making.
