Abstract

Behavioural finance is the application of psychology to finance and investment. It yields insights into how investors think and behave and how financial markets behave. The main elements can be divided into two parts: limits of arbitrage and psychology. Behavioural finance is essentially the study of how people behave in the markets using models from psychology.
