Behavioral Finance in Theory and Practice

چکیده
Behavioral finance is a new approach in finance literature. The main idea is that investors are not as rational as they are assumed to be.

This chapter concentrates on both challenges and possible contributions of behavioral finance theory to the modern finance theory, which is mainly based on rational expectations theory and efficient market hypothesis.
