| Behavioral Finance | |

| Organizer | Aalto University School of Business |
| Instructor | Markku Kaustia (Aalto University School of Business) |
| Dates | May 21-25, 2018 |
| Place | Aalto University School of Business, Chydenia-building, Helsinki, Finland |
| Information | Learning Goal and Objectives:
Behavioral Finance is an approach to the analysis of asset prices,
corporate finance, and financial decision-making in general, that
relaxes some key assumptions of neoclassical financial economics.
Namely, it considers a larger class of objective functions, not
always compatible with expected utility. Second, it entertains the
possibility that expectations are sometimes biased, and not
updated in a Bayesian manner. Third, it considers how various
financial market frictions can form strong 'limits to arbitrage'.
This course is designed to introduce doctoral students to these
concepts, and to support them in developing behavioral research
ideas of their own. Course web page |
