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 draw on a three-year project researching the
psychological and social influences on the behaviour and
performance of traders in investment banks. 118 traders and
managers in four leading organizations participated. Data were
collected through semi-structured interviews supplemented by
questionnaires, 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. They draw on sociology,
psychology and economics 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 which suggests 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.
