Quantitative behavioral finance

Quantitative behavioral finance is a new discipline that uses mathematical and statistical methodology to understand behavioral biases in conjunction with valuation. The research can be grouped into the following areas: 1. * Empirical studies that demonstrate significant deviations from classical theories. 2. * Modeling using the concepts of behavioral effects together with the non-classical assumption of the finiteness of assets. 3. * Forecasting based on these methods. 4. * Studies of experimental asset markets and use of models to forecast experiments.
