Behavorial finance investigation is based on concepts of cognitive psychology decision theory. In addition, behavioral finance studies how real-life investors interpret and act on available information. Financial theories are dominated by efficient market theory assuming rational agents. he key assumption of financial models under this theory is the rational behavior of investors and other economic agents. Empirical observation demonstrates this assumption regularly is violated.Markets often are inefficient. Information disclosure is expensive, and accordingly is distributed asymmetrically. Heuristics may change the investors’ behavior and bias their decisions. Among biases are that each investment decision depends on our previous investment decisions: we are anchored by memory and experience and Bayesian approaches to the data are not of sufficient explanatory power to compensate for the remaining unknowns.

This team-taught course opens up a historical panorama of European literature stretching from the 18th to the 21st century. It does not pretend to provide a survey of this period but rather showcases a selection of significant moments and locations when literary genres changed or new genres appeared. The idea is to open as many doors as possible onto the rich complexity of comparative literary history. In order to help students orient themselves within various histories of generic mutations and emergences, the professors have put together a vocabulary of key literary critical terms in the fields of narrative structure, style, and rhetoric.
