❓Why do smart investors make crazy decisions? @FMG_LSE was delighted to host Alex Edmans on Monday night at the Old Theatre for a public lecture and book launch of The Madness of Markets: Why Smart Investors Make Crazy Decisions – and How to Exploit Them.📕 From overreaction and underreaction to overconfidence, Alex brought investor psychology to life with vivid examples of how our biases shape financial decisions and move markets. A packed room, a lively discussion, and a diverse audience bringing fresh perspectives to the conversation! 👏 A huge thank you to @aedmans for an engaging and thought-provoking lecture, @peng_cameron for chairing, and to everyone who joined us! #BehaviouralFinance #LSEMadnessofMarkets #BookLaunch #FinancialMarketsGroup #FMG #LSE

The amazing* Kalina Manova discusses her new paper about "tariff confusion." The evidence suggests that it had important effects on firm behavior. Highly recommended! cepr.org/multimedia/tariff-c… (*I am not just saying this because we are married.)
Tariff Confusion

Tariff Confusion

If you run a business that exports to the United States, how big is the tariff you have to pay? In 2025 that question was hard to answer. Between February and December, 53 separate announcements...
