About This Course |
Behavioral finance is
the study of the influence of psychology on the behavior of financial
practitioners. In the course, you will learn about the wide range of
decision-making biases and information processing errors that influence our
financial decision-making. We’ll start the course with what behavioral finance
is and its impacts on financial markets. We will then explore the most common
self-deception biases, cognitive biases, and emotional biases. We will discuss
their causes and potential measures you can take to manage them. We’ll finish
the course by discussing loss aversion and herding bias.
