ABSTRACT: Behavioral finance is a
novel approach in the financial markets domain. It originates due to an urgent need to overcome and deal with the
outstanding issues that
traditional investors face in today’s modern finance system. Thus, it is said
that certain
investors who do not have
perfectly sensible elucidation regarding some financial situations and issues can recognize these issues better by means of
certain financial models. Likewise, in a number of behavioral finance models,
investors are
known to be unable to bring an up-to-date of their beliefs in the correct manner. However,
other models show that investors adopt questionable
choices in some cases. Thus, this paper introduces the behavioral finance, describes the background and
the aims and objectives of the study, and it introduces the standards of the behavioral
finance.
