Abstract

This paper presents a conceptual model/framework of the individual investor. By taking a descriptive point of view, we focus our attention on how investors make their investment decisions in a real world setting, as opposed to rational/optimal behavior proposed by normative financial theories. This conceptual model/framework incorporates results of the research on investment decisions from fields of behavioral finance and cognitive psychology. It is based on a review of existing studies, which themselves were conducted using various research methods. It particularly draws on the heuristics and biases strand of behavioral finance literature, as well as the dual-process theories of human cognition. For understanding the investor behavior we also need to understand the psychology of an individual.
