imperfections in financial markets to a combination of cognitive biases

such as overconfidence, overreaction, representative bias,

Information bias (psychology)|information bias, and various other

predictable human errors in reasoning and information processing

individual biases highlighted by the Behavioral Finance programme


Quantitative behavioral finance

Mathematics and Editor of Journal of Behavioral Finance during 2001-2004) and collaborators including

Vernon L


Quantitative behavioral finance - History

1 Behavioral finance researchers generally do not subscribe to EMH as a consequence of

these biases



1 'Research in Quantitative Behavioral Finance'



1 The attempt to quantify basic biases and to use them in mathematical

models is the subject of Quantitative Behavioral Finance



1 The subject of overreactions has also been important in

behavioral finance


Behavioral economics - Behavioral finance

1 The central issue in behavioral finance is explaining why market

participants make systematic errors contrary to assumption of rational market participants. Such errors

affect prices and returns, creating market inefficiencies. It also

investigates how other participants take advantage (arbitrage) of such

market inefficiencies.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-behavioral-finance-toolkit.html

Behavioral economics - Behavioral finance

1 Behavioral finance highlights inefficiencies such as under- or over-reactions to information as

causes of market trends (and in extreme cases of Economic bubble|bubbles and Stock market

crash|crashes). Such reactions have been attributed to limited investor attention, overconfidence, overoptimism, mimicry (herding instinct) and noise trader|noise

trading. Technical analysts consider behavioral finance, behavioral economics' academic

cousin, to be the theoretical basis for technical analysis.


Behavioral economics - Quantitative behavioral finance

1 Quantitative behavioral finance uses mathematical and statistical methodology to understand behavioral biases. In marketing research, a study shows little evidence that

escalating biases impact marketing decisions. Leading contributors include Gunduz Caginalp

(Editor of the Journal of Behavioral Finance from 2001–2004) and collaborators including 2002 Nobelist Vernon L. Smith|Vernon Smith, David Porter, Don Balenovich, Vladimira Ilieva

(PanAgora Asset Management) is the current editor.


Gunduz Caginalp - Research in behavioral finance and experimental economics

1 Prof. Caginalp has been a leader in the newly developing field of Quantitative

Behavioral Finance. The work has three main facets: (1) statistical time series modeling, (2) mathematical modeling using differential equations, and (3)

laboratory experiments; comparison with models and world markets. His research is influenced by decades of experience

as an individual investor and trader.


Contrarian investing - Relationship to behavioral finance

1 For example, studies in behavioral finance have demonstrated that

investors as a group tend to overweight recent trends when predicting the future; a poorly-

performing stock will remain bad, and a strong performer will remain

strong

1 Technical analysts consider behavioral finance, to be behavioral economics' academic cousin and to be the theoretical basis for technical

analysis.
