| | Behavioral finance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Behavioral analyses are mostly concerned with the effects of market decisions, but also those of public choice, another source of economic decisions with some similar biases. | | | They contend that behavioral finance is more a collection of anomalies than a true branch of finance and that these anomalies will eventually be priced out of the market or explained by appeal to market microstructure arguments. | | | Perhaps the most important paper in the development of the behavioral finance and economics fields was written by Kahneman and Tversky in 1979. |

| | One implication of investor inertia is that it improves the terms for the acquiring firm in a stock-for-stock merger, since acquirer shares are placed in the hands of investors who, independent of their beliefs, do not resell these shares on the open market. | | | The key prediction of the model is that stock prices have a stronger impact on the investment of "equity dependent" firms -- those firms that need external equity to finance marginal investments. | | | Overall, this framework may be helpful in explaining why stock-for-stock mergers are a more significant source of equity finance for many firms than SEOs: with SEOs, unlike with mergers, there is no scope for placing shares with inertial investors, so the adverse price impact associated with issuance is likely to be more pronounced. |
