Within this analysis, changes in the state of confidence of investors cause variations …

Alternative ‘old’ approaches in psychology were special because they considered choice in terms that were similar to attributional inference in social psychology and anticipated limitations of the static heuristics and biases approach. Attribute substitution plays an important role …
