Gender differences in stock investment linked to overconfidence among boys
The article "Boys will be Boys: Gender, Overconfidence, and Common Stock Investment" explores how gender and overconfidence affect common stock investment. The researchers found that men tend to trade more frequently than women, leading to lower returns. Men also tend to be overconfident in their investment decisions, which can result in poor choices. This study suggests that gender differences and overconfidence play a significant role in stock market behavior.
