Financial Decision Making: An Overview

Abstract

Abstract: Financial decision making is an increasingly complex subject. New insights from academic research, new paradigms from society, and new tools from private actors affect the way financial decisions are made. To be exhaustive is beyond the reach of any handbook. This volume aims to offer an entry point for those interested in this topic. Leading researchers summarize the state of the art in their respective areas of expertise and offer projections of what is yet to come. The chapters in this Handbook cover a wide range of topics spanning both traditional fields, such as regulation and the role of analysts, and emerging fields, such as artificial intelligence, neurofinance, and robo-advising.

Keywords: Financial decision making, asset pricing, accounting, corporate finance, regulation, fintech
