Understanding Finance from a Behavioral Lens
What comes to mind when we think about Finance? Many people see numbers: the flashing prices on ticker boards, numbers in financial statements, dollars exchanging hands. Professor Tracy Wang sees people. Traders in stock exchanges are people, investors are people, bankers are people, and corporate financial managers are people. All the financial numbers that we see are driven by people’s behaviors and decisions. People’s fear of risk and yearning for return build the behavioral lens for us to understand all the core concepts in finance. In this seminar, Tracy will show you what finance looks like when we see it from a behavioral lens.
Please be sure to register here by April 8!
