The Central assumption of the traditional finance model is that the people are rational. Standard Finance theories are based on the premise that investor behaves rationally and stock and bond markets are efficient. As the financial economists were assuming that people (investors) behaved rationally while making financial decisions, psychologists have found that economic decisions are made in an irrational manner, so they challenge this assumption of standard finance. Cognitive error and extreme emotional bias can cause investors to make bad investment decisions, thereby acting in irrational manner. Since the past few decade, field of Behavioural finance has evolved to consider how personal and social psychology influence financial decisions and behaviour of investors in general. The finance field was reluctant to accept the view of psychologists who had proposed the Behavioural finance model. Behavioural finance was considered first by the psychologist Daniel Kahneman and economist Vernon Smith, who were awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2002.This was the time when financial economist started believing that the investor behaves irrationally. Human brains process information using shortcuts and emotional filters even in investment decisions. It is an attempt to explain how the psychological dimensions influence investment decisions of individual investor, how perception influences the mutual funds market as a whole. It is worth exploring whether field of psychology helps investor to make more reasonable investment decisions. Behavioural finance is a concept developed with the inputs taken from the field of psychology and finance. It tries to understand the various puzzling factors in stock markets to offer better explanations for the same. These factors or abnormalities were initially termed as market anomalies, as they could not be explained in the Neo-classical framework. To answer the increased number and types of market anomalies, a new approach to financial markets had emerged- the Behavioural finance. Behavioural finance is defined as the study of the influence of socio-psychological factors on an asset’s price. It focuses on investor behaviour and their investment decision-making process. 1.2 OBJECTIVE After studying this lesson, you will be able to understand : • the concept of Behavioural finance • the scope of Behavioural finance • the application of Behavioural finance • objectives of Behavioural finance 1.3 CONCEPT OF BEHAVIOURAL FINANCE Behavioural Finance (BF) is the study of investors’ psychology while making financial decisions. It is the study of the influence of psychology and sociology on the behaviour of financial practitioners and the subsequent effect on market. According to Behavioural finance, investors’ market behaviour derives from psychological principles of decision-making to explain why people buy or sell stock. Behavioural finance focuses upon how investor interprets and acts on information to take

Naar aanleiding van de financiële crisis in 2007-2009, werd de MiFID-wetgeving aanzienlijk verstrengd ter bescherming van de particuliere, vaak onwetende, investeerder. Beursvennootschappen of andere financiële tussenpersonen die beleggingsdiensten, zijnde vermogensbeheer en beleggingsadvies, aanbieden aan ‘retail investors’ zijn rechtswege verplicht een waarschuwingssignaal in de vorm van een negatief, neutraal of positief advies te verstrekken bij elke aankoop- en verkooptransactie die de cliënt wenst te verrichten (European Parliament; The Council, 2014). Hiervoor werd een experiment uiteengezet die een virtuele, financiële omgeving creëerde waar participanten investeringsbeslissingen konden nemen doorheen verschillende handelsperiodes. Participanten

The idea that psychology plays a role in influencing the stock market can be dated back to Adam Smith who wrote about individual’s behavior in his work Theory of Moral Sentiments. It wasn’t until the latter half of the 20th century that behavioral economics became accepted as a counter to Eugene Fama’s widely accepted theory of Efficient Market Hypothesis.

  • Whither Securities Regulation? Some Behavioral Observations Regarding Proposals for Its Future
    PRENTICE.DOC 05/07/02 10:54 AM Duke Law Journal VOLUME 51 MARCH 2002 NUMBER 5 WHITHER SECURITIES REGULATION? SOME BEHAVIORAL OBSERVATIONS REGARDING PROPOSALS FOR ITS FUTURE ROBERT PRENTICE† ABSTRACT Respected commentators have floated several proposals for star- tling reforms of America’s seventy-year-old securities regulation scheme. Many involve substantial deregulation with a view toward allowing issuers and investors to contract privately for desired levels of disclosure and fraud protection. The behavioral literature explored in this Article cautions that in a deregulated securities world it is ex- ceedingly optimistic to expect issuers voluntarily to disclose optimal levels of information, securities intermediaries such as stock ex- changes and stockbrokers to appropriately consider the interests of investors, or investors to be able to bargain efficiently for fraud pro- tection.

Therefore, I would like to thank everyone who has helped and supported me. In particular the following persons come to my mind. First and foremost I would like to thank Thierry Post for guiding and supporting me all along the way and helping me push my research (skills) to a higher level in every way I can think off. Similarly, I thank Martijn van den Assem, especially for teaching me the importance of (all kinds of) details. The three of us have had lots of fun (often also together with our girlfriends), in particular during the “Deal or No Deal” project and the various conferences we have visited.
