Book excerpt: Investor behavior, shaped by cognitive and emotional biases, significantly impacts the dynamics of financial markets, often leading to deviations from traditional theories of market efficiency and rational decision-making. As markets are increasingly driven by human psychology rather than purely economic fundamentals, understanding these biases is crucial for explaining anomalies. Recognizing the influence of investor sentiment and behavioral patterns can provide valuable insights for improving investment strategies, risk management, and financial policymaking. By addressing the psychological factors that drive investor decisions, we can better understand the complexities of market behavior and work toward creating more resilient and stable financial systems. Unveiling Investor Biases That Shape Market Dynamics explores the psychological underpinnings of investor behavior and their implications for financial markets. By integrating empirical research with theoretical insights, this volume provides a comprehensive understanding of how cognitive, emotional, and social biases manifest in investment decisions and contribute to market inefficiencies. Covering topics such as accounting, investment strategy, and social media influence, this book is an excellent resource for researchers, doctoral students, academicians, portfolio managers, financial analysts, policymakers, and more.
