Biography
My major research interests are in financial economics (behavioral finance, asset pricing, economics of derivatives) and individual decision making under risk and uncertainty (prospect theory, risk preferences, irrationality). I do both theoretical and empirical work and am currently also involved in experimental work. The core issues that I have been working on are the study of behavioral dimension of investment decision-making, from both individual and institutional perspectives, and how it affects the asset prices and market mechanism. My research interests are based on the behaviouralized inquiries related to the emerging research area of behavioral finance which draws its ideas from various disciplines including economics, finance, psychology, sociology and so on.
