This book provides new methodological, theoretical and applied
insights into a continuously developing field of economic and
financial psychology. It is based on a number of experimental and
survey studies that demonstrate that economic and financial
behavior is not necessarily completely rational, and may be
considerably affected by various psychological stimuli, usually
regarded as "biases." Studies discussed in Part I employ
experimental design and examine the effects of hindsight bias and
anchoring bias on the perception of economic and financial
information. In particular, they concentrate on the effects of
pre-existing knowledge and perceived "relevance" of some of the
randomly provided anchors on the magnitudes of the exhibited
biases. Studies described in Part II are based on a survey among
stock market investors and analyze the influence of disposition
effect, herd behavior, availability heuristic, gambler's fallacy
and hot hand fallacy on the mechanism of stock market
decision-making. In particular, they deal with individual
differences in the degrees of these biases and with the
correlations between the magnitudes of the biases in the
cross-section of market investors.
