More Behavioral Economics and Financial Markets!

Hi all,

My behavioral economics students were super interested in the random-walk hypothesis as it relates to financial markets (basically, the notion that stock prices are not predictable), so I figured I'd do a little write-up here.  I also made some articles that cover more aspects of prospect theory as discussed in behavioral economics, so you have plenty to get your learn on with!

Cheers,
Jodi
