A Note on the Hotels: The UCLA Guesthouse is located on campus and Hotel Angeleno is just a very short distance (1.5 miles only) from our conference location.

Objectives and Scope. The Academy of Behavioral Finance& Economics offers a dedicated forum for exchange of research findings and professional advancement related to the fast-growing field of behavioral finance and economics. Given the well-recognized reality that "to make a decision, emotion is the necessary trigger (and) without emotion, one would be reduced to the state of an idiot savant who goes on endlessly calculating without the ability to make a choice" (Olsen, 2008), the objective of the annual conference is to encourage and distribute research and inquiry in the very promising area of Behavioral Finance and Economics.

Theoretical and empirical/experimental works that involve the application of psychology and neuroscience to all areas of financial decision-making and practice will be considered for presentation at the meeting. This includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:

Investment in and Workings of Financial Markets at all levels of functionality and capital allocation-including both public and private aspects;
Financial Management of Companies-both public and private entities;
Firm Entry and Exit Process-ranging from startup ventures to mature businesses;
Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Venture Capital;
All other Business and Economic Endeavors that Involve Human Decision Making and Choice Under Conditions of Risk and Uncertainly;
Teaching and Learning-ranging from case development to other pedagogical issues.

Advances in Behavioral Finance & Economics: The Journal. A few carefully selected and further reviewed papers will be published in the Advances in Behavioral Finance & Economics: The Journal of the Academy of Behavioral Finance & Economics.
