Outline


Module/course Summary

Traditional finance assumes that investors and decision makers are 100 % rational, and that they make enlightened choices based on logic and rationality. Behavioral finance, on the contrary, tries to find the flaws in human beings : the approximations, heuristics and other influences that can explain some irrationalities in so-called rational choices.
