What is Behavioral Finance?
Behavioral Finance is a field of study that combines behavioral psychology theories with conventional economics and finance to provide explanations for why people make irrational financial decisions. It explores how biases, heuristics, and framing effects influence investors, analysts, and markets as a whole. Understanding these principles is crucial for making more rational decisions and identifying potential market inefficiencies.
