Introduction:
The Role of Behavioral Biases in Financial Decision-Making is a topic that has gained significant attention in recent years as researchers and practitioners seek to better understand the impact of human behavior on financial outcomes. Behavioral biases refer to systematic patterns of deviation from norm or rationality in judgment, whereby inferences about other people and situations may be drawn in an illogical fashion. In the context of financial decision-making, these biases can lead to suboptimal choices, poor investment decisions, and ultimately, financial losses for individuals and organizations.
This thesis aims to explore the various behavioral biases that can influence financial decision-making and to provide insights into how these biases can be mitigated or overcome. By examining the underlying psychological mechanisms that drive these biases, this research seeks to contribute to a better understanding of why individuals often make irrational financial decisions and how these biases can be addressed.
