Points: 100
Overview:
During the first week’s assignment, you evaluated the role that the EMH and CAPM play
in assumptions that are made by investors in the market. This week built upon those
assumptions and introduced the concept of behavioral finance – a concept born due to
the inability of modern finance to address uncertainty and tests of the concept of market
efficiency.
Instructions:
Evaluate the major anomalies discussed such as the lagged reactions to earnings
announcements, small-firm effect, the value advantage, along with both momentum and
reversal. To complete this week’s assignment, write a 2-3 page essay that explains the
potential effects of each of these. Include in your essay an explanation of the
importance of establishing a field such as behavioral finance.
Requirements:
• 2-3 pages in length (double-spaced).
• Additional title and reference pages included.
• Proper grammar and APA formatting must be followed.
• See grading criteria on the following page.
Be sure to read the criteria by which your work will be evaluated before you write
and again after you write.
