This book offers a definitive and wide-ranging overview of
developments in behavioral finance over the past ten years. In
1993, the first volume provided the standard reference to this new
approach in finance--an approach that, as editor Richard Thaler put
it, "entertains the possibility that some of the agents in the
economy behave less than fully rationally some of the time." Much
has changed since then. Not least, the bursting of the Internet
bubble and the subsequent market decline further demonstrated that
financial markets often fail to behave as they would if trading
were truly dominated by the fully rational investors who populate
financial theories. Behavioral finance has made an indelible mark
on areas from asset pricing to individual investor behavior to
corporate finance, and continues to see exciting empirical and
theoretical advances.
"Advances in Behavioral Finance, Volume II" constitutes the
essential new resource in the field. It presents twenty recent
papers by leading specialists that illustrate the abiding power of
behavioral finance--of how specific departures from fully rational
decision making by individual market agents can provide
explanations of otherwise puzzling market phenomena. As with the
first volume, it reaches beyond the world of finance to suggest,
powerfully, the importance of pursuing behavioral approaches to
other areas of economic life.
