Investor Behaviours Impact Stock Market Decisions During COVID-19 Market Selloff.
The article examines how different types of investors behave in the stock market and how their behaviors affect their investment decisions. The researchers surveyed over a hundred investors and found that sociodemographic factors and experience influence how biased investors are in their decisions. Institutional investors tend to be less influenced by biases compared to individual investors. The study also discovered that behavioral biases played a role in investors' decisions during the market downturn in March 2020. Interestingly, social distancing measures did not significantly impact herding behavior among investors. This research helps us understand how different factors can affect investment decisions in the stock market.
