Semester Herbstsemester 2021
Angebotsmuster Jedes Herbstsemester
Dozierende Ola Mahmoud (ola.mahmoud@unibas.ch, BeurteilerIn)
Inhalt This course describes how individuals and firms make financial decisions, and how those decisions might deviate from those predicted by traditional financial or economic theory. Students will explore the existence of psychological biases in financial decision-making, and examine the impacts of these biases in financial markets and other financial settings. The course examines how the insights of behavioral finance complements the traditional finance paradigm.

The objective and purpose of this course is to provide an in-depth discussion of the modern development in behavioral finance. Theory, empirical, and experimental evidence will be discussed. We will review the decision-making process along with the different biases and paradoxes that go with it, learn about the major behavioral economics theories, and study the applications in the context of financial decision making.
Lernziele The objective of this course is to introduce the principles and concepts of behavioral economics as applied to financial decision making. Students will gain an understanding of how investors and individuals in general make financial decisions. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: - identify the common errors in information processing; - identify the main behavioral biases and heuristics and take them into account when, say, modeling financial decision processes or advising a client; - understand the limits to arbitrage; - understand the formation and burst process of speculative bubbles; - allocate assets in a portfolio according to behavioral portfolio theory.
Literatur The main reference for this course are the lecture slides, together with papers and book chapters that will be distributed during the course and before every lecture.
