Description

The field of Behavioural Finance examines the way psychological factors affect financial behaviour. Rooted in psychology and finance, it demonstrates that human emotions, such as fear, and limited cognitive resources, including finite attention, have central roles in shaping the financial markets.

The module introduces students to the psychological and financial foundations of behavioural finance. It explores central theories in behavioural finance, emotional finance, client-practitioner relationship, client behaviours, financial crime and ethics in finance. Applications for financial decision-making are discussed and research methods in behavioural finance are explained.
