There will be several lectures, but most sessions will center around discussions of important papers in the academic literature. The papers will come from the behavioral economics, behavioral nance, and the experimental psychology literatures.Broad topics to be covered are: empirical evidence on security markets (anomalies); evidence on individual and institutional behavior; limits of arbitrage; psychology,judgment and decision making; and other related topics. The course will be designed to have as little overlap as possible with other courses in the PhD sequence.
