In reality, attention is a scarce cognitive resource. Therefore, limited attention can have major impact in the financial markets.This course gives a brief introduction to the emerging literature on investor attention. Specifically, we will go over theoretical models of limited attention, discuss empirical measures of investor attention, and review empirical evidence of how attention affects both asset pricing and corporate finance outcomes.------This course is open to PhD students and academics at FIRN member institutions (see firn.org.au for a list of FIRN members).PhD students are required to have the permission of this PhD supervisor(s) to enroll is this class and must complete all assessments.Academics who are post-PhD can 'sit in' and do not have to complete the assessments.If you are from a non-member institution then email info@firn.org.au to ask about membership options.
