Assessment and permitted materials
The grade will be based on the midterm and the final exam. A fraction can be also allocated to the homework exercises and class participation.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Traditionally, Financial Economics assumes that investors and other market participants are perfectly rational. While this is a good first approximation, we currently know there are a number of systematic biases in peoples behaviour. The goal of this course is to discuss how these biases affect financial markets and investors decisions. We will start with describing the most relevant deviations (such as overconfidence, loss aversion and others), and we will continue with various financial applications. We will talk about bubbles, herding, implications for corporate decisions and investors behaviour.
