Johannes Wohlfart professor at ECONtribute at the University of Cologne, analyzes the behavior of people on the stock market in his research. In various studies, he has developed a mental model of investors. We talk about why even fund managers often do not act rationally, which investment strategy is the most promising according to financial research and whether better financial education could prevent stock market crashes.

This episode is about shares, academics and bubbles.
