Comprehensive Curriculum Featuring:
- Introduction to Behavioural Finance: Behavioural Finance challenges the traditional view of financial decision-making by integrating insights from psychology into economic models. It recognizes that individuals often deviate from rational behavior due to psychological biases and emotional influences. This unit provides a foundational understanding of how Behavioural factors impact economic and financial choices.
- Cognitive Biases in Decision Making: This unit explores various cognitive biases that systematically affect decision-making processes. Cognitive biases are mental shortcuts or patterns of thinking that can lead to irrational decisions. Examples include confirmation bias, where individuals seek information confirming their pre-existing beliefs, and the anchoring effect, where decisions are influenced by initial reference points.
- Emotional Influences on Financial Decisions: Emotions play a significant role in shaping financial decisions. Fear and greed, for instance, can drive market trends, leading to bubbles and crashes. Understanding the emotional aspects of decision-making is crucial for investors, as emotional reactions can sometimes override rational analysis, impacting investment strategies and risk management.
- Prospect Theory and Decision Making: Prospect Theory, developed by Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, is a cornerstone of Behavioural Finance. It posits that individuals evaluate potential outcomes based on perceived gains and losses relative to a reference point, rather than absolute outcomes. This unit delves into the implications of Prospect Theory on decision-making under uncertainty and risk.
- Market Anomalies and Investor Behavior: Market anomalies are patterns or phenomena that deviate from the expectations of efficient market theory. This unit explores anomalies such as the value premium, momentum, and the January effect, connecting these deviations to the behavior of investors. Understanding these anomalies provides insights into market inefficiencies that can be exploited for potential financial gain.
