This book explains how investor behavior, from mental accounting to
the combustible interplay of hope and fear, affects financial
economics. The transformation of portfolio theory begins with the
identification of anomalies. Gaps in perception and behavioral
departures from rationality spur momentum, irrational exuberance,
and speculative bubbles. Behavioral accounting undermines the
rational premises of mathematical finance. Assets and portfolios
are imbued with "affect." Positive and negative emotions warp
investment decisions. Whether hedging against intertemporal changes
in their ability to bear risk or climbing a psychological hierarchy
of needs, investors arrange their portfolios and financial affairs
according to emotions and perceptions. Risk aversion and life-cycle
theories of consumption provide possible solutions to the equity
premium puzzle, an iconic financial mystery. Prospect theory has
questioned the cogency of the efficient capital markets hypothesis.
Behavioral portfolio theory arises from a psychological account of
security, potential, and aspiration.
