Comments/contents:
The seminar gives an introduction into various aspects of investing behavior. Investors are expected to act irrationally and without complete information. Investors as actors and their behavior are in the focus of analysis. We investigate how investment decisions are formed and how investors err. We look at strategies and instruments to alleviate those errors.
Please note: The mandatory Kick-Off and the assignment of the topics will be held on Thursday, 14.10.2021, from 14.00 –18.00 in room VMP 9 B528.
