This is a book about traders in financial markets: what they do,
the kind of people they are, how they perceive the world they
inhabit, how they make decisions and take risks. This is also a
book about how traders are managed-the best and the worst
examples-and about the institutions they inhabit: firms, markets,
cultures and theories of how the world works. How these
institutions function, how traders are managed, and how traders
view the world, all have profound effects on the wider financial
environment. This book explores these relationships and their
implications theoretically and empirically. The data discussed in
this book on a three-year project researching the psychological and
social influences on the behavior and performance of traders in
investment banks. One hundred and eighteen traders and managers in
four leading organizations participated. Data was collected through
semi-structured interviews supplemented by questionnaries, measures
of personality, risk propensity and a novel computer based measure
designed to assess illusion of control and other cognitive biases.
The authors' approach to writing this book is explicitly
interdisciplinary. hey draw on sociology, psychology and econics in
order to illuminate the work of traders and the world they inhabit.
The book is a significant contribution to the growing body of
research and literature suggesting that if we are to effectively
understand financial markets and the actors who inhabit them, the
insights of neo-classical financial economics need supplementing
with a broader range of social science approaches. The book will be
of value to researchers interested in the functioning of financial
institutions and markets, to those with an interest in market
regulation and to practitioners wishing to benefit from an
analytical perspective on the challenges facing traders and their
managers.
