Summary

A subfield of behavioral economics, Behavioral finance suggests that the financial behaviors of investors are affected by psychological influences and biases. Moreover, influences and biases can shed light on the source for the explanation of all types of market anomalies and specifically market anomalies in the stock market, such as severe rises or falls in stock price. This special issue focuses on approaches through which we can view financial decision-making. The aim of the issue is to publish high quality research in all fields of finance, where such research is carried out with a behavioral perspective and / or is carried out via experimental methods. It is open to but not limited to papers which cover:
