A must-read to every researcher or PhD student
The bible to everyone who is seriosly interested in behavioral finance , and a must read to a PhD studend. This book includes all the seminal papers of this brand new field of science. In my opinion if one read this book it is worthless to buy any other book about behavioral finance. A real masterpiece as I have never seen before !
