“ADVANCES IN BEHAVIORAL FINANCE IN THE LAST DECADE”
Deadline: April 30 2013
PURPOSE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE.
A milestone for the field of behavioral finance was the awarding of the 2002 Nobel Prize in Economics to psychologist Daniel Kahneman, whose work, in collaboration with Amos Tversky, has decisively contributed to the advancement and recognition of this field of research. During the last decade, the behavioral approach has been applied to numerous individual and corporate decision problems, such as investment strategies; savings; asset pricing; mergers and acquisitions; financing decisions; dividend policy; initial public offerings; and so on. Ten years after the awarding of the Nobel Prize to Prof. Kahneman, we take this opportunity to reflect on the evolution of the research in this field, given its growing importance for the understanding of the relevant financial phenomena.
