Overview of my research
Research papersFor the past 25 years, I have worked on behavioral finance, a large and vibrant field that tries to understand financial markets using frameworks that make psychologically realistic assumptions about human behavior. Together with my co-authors, I build models of investor behavior and asset prices that are rooted in the cognitive science of how people form beliefs and make decisions under risk.

Behavioral finance online lecturesIn January 2017, as part of the American Economic Association's Continuing Education program, Ulrike Malmendier and I delivered a two-day, 12-hour course on behavioral finance. The lectures were recorded and are available for free online here.Masters' students, PhD students, and faculty members in economics and finance who are interested in learning more about behavioral finance may find these lectures helpful. I did the first half (Parts 1 through 4) on applications to asset prices and investor behavior; Ulrike did the second half (Parts 5 through 9) on corporate finance applications. The slides for my part are here. Former and current studentsI learn a lot by working with PhD students and helping them with their dissertation work. Here are links to some of the students I have advised in past years. I very much recommend taking a look at their work if you are not already familiar with it!
