“Using your knowledge of behavioural finance, explain the main causes and underlying drivers of the global financial crisis in 2008 and the recent global financial crisis following the Covid-19 pandemic. Compare and contrast the behavioural and non-behavioural explanations based on academic evidence.”
Please do not use any chatGPT, I will use the AI detection tool to check it, and if finds out, I will report to the platform. This is one of the assignment, if we work well for this assignment, we will work for future assignments such as assignment 2 and dissertation in the long run so please do the assignment well!
The assignment is as follows:
“Using your knowledge of behavioural finance, explain the main causes and underlying drivers of the global financial crisis in 2008 and the recent global financial crisis following the Covid-19 pandemic. Compare and contrast the behavioural and non-behavioural explanations based on academic evidence.”
References for the above assignment are given in the course outline and on the lecture slides,but they can be used as a starting point. You are expected to conduct a further review, identifying and discussing further key academic papers in the relevant areas; you will be positively assessed on the resulting original insights they bring to your essay.
Please find the references and the academic literatures in the lecture slides
The essay is 2,000 +/- 10% words, excluding references.
Critical thinking, the important aspects is to provide a further review over what is on top of the existing Economics research
Havard referencing, and there must be at least 20 references in the relevant for the behavioral finance in this field with all the links included,
Times New Roman 12, 1.5 spaced.
Contrast the viewpoints from different academic articles, do the critical reading with the critical thinking, and do the critical evaluations
The assignment will be assessed in accordance to the criteria on:
Content
Structure
Style
Word length
For example, here are the example literature reviews which would be a good starting point e.G “Overconfidence and Early‐Life Experiences: The Effect of Managerial Traits on Corporate Financial Policies”, Journal of Finance, 2011, by Malmendier, Tate and Yan.
Journal articles – Core
M. Rubinstein,” Rational Markets: Yes or No? The Affirmative Case”, Financial Analysts Journal, vol.57, no.3, May/June 2001, pp.15-29
This is the important book for the assignment to have a grasp of the key ideas shown in the assignment
Book chapters:
John R. Nofsinger, The Psychology of Investing, 7th edition, Routledge, 2022, ISBN 9780367748180, the entire book using the book chapters as references.
“Many clients, however, will not sell anything at a loss. They don’t want to give up the hope of making money on a particular investment, or perhaps they want to get even before they get out. The ‘get evenitis’ disease has probably wrought more destruction on investment portfolios than anything else…” (Leroy Gross, 1982)
Prospect theory (Kahneman and Tversky, 1979) teaches us “losses loom larger than gains”
“Many clients, however, will not sell anything at a loss. They don’t want to give up the hope of making money on a particular investment, or perhaps they want to get even before they get out. The ‘get evenitis’ disease has probably wrought more destruction on investment portfolios than anything else…” (Leroy Gross, 1982)
Do not use AI or chatGPT in anywhere, please write all the materials, I will use detection websites such as GPT zero to check the amount of the AI content and if it violates the standard academic rule, I will report to the platform, thank you.
It has to be an upper first class grade of at least 85% as the final grade for the assignment, if we are able to achieve this grade, we will work with further assignments including dissertations for example.
Instructions
4.1) Appearance
The appearance of your work is an assessment criterion. You are, therefore, required to type your assignment/essay. Facilities for word-processing assignments/essays are available throughout the University campus. Accuracy and consistency are very important and you should always proof-read your assignment thoroughly before handing it in.
Definitions
Bibliography: a listing at the end of your work of all books, journals and online materials you have consulted as preparation for your assignment. You do not need to have referred to all these sources directly in your text.
Reference list: all books, journals and online materials you have referred to in your paper. 4.5) Final Points to Note
Relevance
Try to ensure that the points you raise in your assignment are relevant. Avoid falling into the trap of writing down everything you can remember about the topic without evaluating how each point relates to the essay title. Your assignment should also be an analysis of facts, supporting your arguments/comments with relevant information and not purely a descriptive account.
General Reference guidelines
Read the references carefully so that in commenting on a point you do not over-simplify the argument supporting it. Do not make sweeping generalisations and avoid making statements of opinion unsupported by facts or any reasoned argument. The list of references you actually consult when writing your essay need not and should not be confined to those on the essay handout or course booklet. Any evidence of reading beyond the recommended list will be welcomed.
Review your work
Read your work critically before submitting it for assessment. The final review and proof read may not necessarily gain you extra marks but it may prevent you losing marks for easily avoidable errors. It is best to leave a short time between finishing your write up and proof reading so that you review your work with a fresh pair of eyes, so be sure to take this time into account during your essay preparation. When reviewing and editing:
– Check that your work is coherent and you have answered the question.
– Ensure spelling and grammar are correct – you can not rely 100% on the automatic
checkers, they are fallible, so always re-read your work with fresh eyes for typing errors.
– Check the presentation – paragraphs, headings, font and line spacing are consistent
throughout. Make sure you are within the word limit.
– Review your bibliography and ensure you have referenced your work fully and correctly.
Requirements:
3 Below are some key aspects to the presentation of your assignment that should be considered. Again, these are intended as a general guideline and you should consult the information provided in your course booklet and on Learn for any specific requirements for a particular course. Font There is no specified font type; this is really down to preference although Times New Roman and Arial tend to be the most common. You should avoid using elaborate font styles as this will make your assignment difficult to read. In general, the accepted font size will be 11 or 12 point. Line Spacing Line spacing should ideally be set to 2 lines apart; this makes the text much easier to read. It also leaves space for the marker to add any comments. Margins There is no set guideline for margins but it is advisable to have the left margin slightly larger than the right, e.g. 3cm left and 2cm right. Again this leaves space for markers comments. Paragraphs Paragraphs should be set out clearly and consistently and long paragraphs are not to be encouraged. There are two accepted methods of paragraph format: Indentation where each paragraph begins slightly indented from the left hand margin and the block method where paragraphs begin at the margin but are separated by a double-line space – equivalent to a missing line. 4.2) Organisation and Structure Assignments/essays should be systematic. The main points should be organised so that the argument or comment which you are making develops in a logical manner. This should be reflected in the formal structure you adopt; the use of sub-headings can sometimes be helpful. It can be useful to outline the argument at the outset, in terms of headings/subheadings to establish a logical flow to the argument. The required layout will vary depending on the type of academic writing you have been asked to produce and you should always consult the course booklet and/or assignment guidelines on Learn prior to writing up. 4.3) References and quotations It is important to acknowledge in your assignments/essays the sources of your information. Where a passing reference is made, then it suffices to refer to the author by name. It is permissible to reproduce passages, provided that these quotations are brief and acknowledged. Use quotation marks, and describe your source in the bibliography. Essays that make use of unacknowledged quotations will be penalised. The whole point of writing essays is to help you develop the ability to express your ideas in your own words. There are different ways of setting forth brief references and quotations. It is recommended that you should use the following method, known as the Harvard style, which has been widely adopted and is increasingly popular. The example below includes both brief references and a longer quotation: Examples As Lewis (1990, p 60) makes clear: “The complexity of this interaction makes it difficult to measure or even justify law as an independent factor in the conduct of industrial relations.” Moreover, the work of Brown and Wadhwani (1990) and Kessler and Bayliss (1992) confirm this view. The example quoted does not cover all cases. For instance, a publication may have no author but is the production of an institution. Thus a book issued by British Telecom in 1992 would be referred to as British Telecom (1992). Again, you may have to quote two works produced by the same author in the same year: they would have to be set out as (1992a) and (1992b).
4 Tips for referencing: Look at journals/text books Keep your referencing style consistent throughout your assignment, do not mix different systems. Get into the habit of recording bibliographical details as you take your notes, this will save you backtracking later to find it. As Lewis (1990, p 60) makes clear: “The complexity of this interaction makes it difficult to measure or even justify law as an independent factor in the conduct of industrial relations.” Moreover, the work of Brown and Wadhwani (1990) and Kessler and Bayliss (1992) confirm this view. 4.4) Bibliography and citation A bibliography is a list in alphabetical order of all sources (e.g. books, journal articles, newspapers) that you quote in, or consult for, your assignment/essay. An assignment/essay that has no bibliography will be penalised. This is how the full references would appear in the bibliography, again using the Harvard referencing style: Brown, W and Wadhwani, S (1990), “The Economic Effects of Industrial Relations Legislation Since 1979” National Institute Economic Review, Vol. 131, No. 1, February, pp 57-70. Kessler, S and Bayliss, F (1992), Contemporary British Industrial Relations, London: Macmillan. Lewis, R (1991), “Reforming Industrial Relations Law”, Oxford Review of Economic Policy, Vol. 7, No. 1, February, pp .60-75. National electronic Library for Health. 2003. Can walking make you slimmer and healthier? (Hitting the headlines article). [Online] (Updated 16 Jan 2005) Available at: http://www.nhs.uk.hth.walking [Accessed 10 April 2005]. Please observe certain features of the above references: the use of italics (or underlining) signals that this is the item that will appear in a library catalogue as the publication; the first and third references are to journal articles. It is to be noted that the titles of the articles are in inverted commas, and the names of the journals are in italics (since it is the journal that you will look for in the library); the second reference is to a book and so the title is italicised here ; the sequence of the wording is not arbitrary: in the case of articles, it is author/year/ title/journal/volume number/part number and/or time of year; in the case of books it is: author/year/title/place of publication/name of publisher; For websites found on the world wide web the required elements for a reference are: Authorship or Source, Year. Title of web document or web page. [Medium] Available at: include web site address/URL(Uniform Resource Locator) and additional details such as access or routing from the home page of the source. [Accessed date]. N.B. the URL should be underlined. If you are in doubt about compiling your bibliography, you may want to look at some learned journals in the library. Do also feel free to consult your course organiser. Above all, as with your referencing, try to be consistent in the way you present your bibliography.
