The Disposition Effect - Episode 4 | Season2

Nudging Financial Behaviour

We’re still looking at loss aversion in episode 4 of The Nudging Financial Behaviour Podcast – that’s right, it’s a big topic! Today, we’re breaking down the disposition effect, which is all about how loss aversion manifests itself in the world of investing.

Our guest is Professor Terry Odean from the Haas School of Business at the University of California in Berkeley. He is a prolific author and researcher on the topic of behavioural finance and one of the inspirations for my own academic career.
