Welcome to an open seminar titled  “The behavioral revolution in finance” with Professor Werner De Bondt, Driehaus College of Business, DePaul University, Chicago.

Modern finance is the paradigm that has directed thinking in academic finance since the 1950s. It flows from a grand vision that aims to reconstruct society with individual rational action as its centerpiece. Behavioral finance took off in early 1980s. Its approach is nearly the opposite of modern finance. Behavioral finance does not assume rational agents or frictionless markets. Instead, it examines the psychology of financial decision-making. Furthermore, the institu­­­­ti­­onal environment is seen as critically important.

What has been learned? A key insight is that financial intuition is fragile. It is frequently and predictably flawed. Since decision processes shape decision outcomes, the study of judgment fiascoes helps us to understand, predict and impro­­ve decisions made in households and organizations. Also, widely shared self-reinforcing misconceptions (“eupho­­­ria and hysteria”) regularly cause transient price bubbles in world financial markets. Besides opportunities for profit, the errors of naive investors create much risk, sometimes with macro-economic effects. Policy makers have no choice but to pay close attention.

Werner De Bondt (Ph.D., Cornell University, 1985) is one of the originators of behavioral finance. He studies the psychology of financial decision-making. De Bondt is the Founding Director of the Richard H. Driehaus Center for Behavioral Finance at DePaul University in Chicago. Earlier (1992-2003), he was the Frank Graner Professor of Investment Management at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During 2019-2020, he was the Thomas F. Gleed Chair of Business Administration at Seattle University. Over the years, he has also taught at universities in Belgium, The Netherlands and Switzerland. Werner De Bondt’s publi­ca­­tions have appeared in top academic journals. He is a frequent speaker to academics and investment professionals around the globe.

SPIKNING

Kristina Sollander, doktorand i Produktionssystem spikar sin doktorsavhandling tisdagen den 20 juni.

Spikningen äger rum i JTHs entré klockan 09.30 och alla är välkomna att närvara vid ceremonin. Därefter bjuds alla på "spiktårta" och kaffe i Galleriet.

Spikningen är en gammal tradition som innebär att avhandlingen offentliggörs och att inga ändringar längre får göras. 

Kristina Sollanders avhandling har titeln "Unplanned Managerial Work: A Driver for Knowledge Creation and Innovation Capabilities in Manufacturing SMEs".

Kristina försvarar sin avhandling fredagen den 18 augusti, kl 09.00 i E1405 (Gjuterisalen).

Varmt välkommen att ta del av en digital lunchföreläsning som anordnas inom ramen av Centrum för odontologi och oral hälsa (COO).

För barn som har utstående tänder och ett överbett kan en avtagbar tandställning, så kallad Twin-block, vara ett behandlingsalternativ. Rekommendationen, för ett gott behandlingsresultat, är att
tandställningen ska sitta i minst 12 timmar per dygn. Men hur vet man om patienten och föräldrarna följer rekommendationen? Påverkar tätare kontroller användningstiden och i slutänden
behandlingsresultatet?

Föreläsare är Erik Frilund, ST-tandläkare i ortodonti vid odontologiska institutionen i Jönköping. Han har belönats med Region Jönköpings Vetenskapliga pris 2023 för sin studie ”Patient
compliance with Twin Block appliance during treatment of Class II malocclusion - a randomized controlled trial on two check-up prescriptions”.

Föreläsningarna hålls digitalt via Zoom. Anmälan sker via formuläret
