“Behavioral finance is the study of how investors make decisions - and how these decisions affect stock prices and broad market movements. Investors are human, and humans aren’t perfectly rational” - HBS Case Study 9-207-804, 2007 The course “Individuals and Markets: Behavioral Finance in Partial and General Equilibrium” is comprised of two sections which examine how behavior plays a central role in individual financial decision making and financial markets. The first half of the course addresses behavioral finance in partial equilibrium by focusing on individual investors, households, and retail markets. The course will follow academic literature from the last 30 years highlighting and explaining some of the most central findings from behavioral and household finance, such as: nonparticipation and under-diversification; learning, expectation formation, and formative experiences; investment biases and mistakes; and if financial advisors, technology, and financial innovation help alleviate them. The second half of the course will introduce students to a general equilibrium framework to understand how human behavior can affect outcomes in a market setting. This section of the course will follow the academic literature on market efficiency and the joint hypothesis problem; rational expectations; limits to arbitrage; and bubbles, anomalies, and mispricing. |
