Behavioural Corporate Finance.
•Traditional Finance – Assumption: managers and
investors are rational and self-interested (“homo
economicus” view).
•Behavioural finance/Behavioural Corporate
Finance: “Real-world” view- Managers and
investors may be irrational (Psychological Biases)
(“homo sapiens” view).

Behavioural Finance versus
Behavioural Corporate Finance
• Behavioural Finance: Investors irrational/biased
(managerial rationality taken as given). Focus on
capital market imperfections/inefficiency.
• Behavioural Corporate Finance: considers
managerial irrationality/biases. Focus on corporate
finance decisions (investment appraisal, capital
structure/dividend policy.

Development of Behavioral Finance I.
• Traditional Research in Finance: Assumption:
Agents are rational self-interested utility
maximisers (=> portfolio theory/EMH/ MM
theorems/ agency models etc).
• 1955: Herbert Simon: Bounded Rationality:
Humans are not computer-like infinite information
processors. Heuristics. (rules of thumb)
• Economics experiments: Humans are not totally
self-interested. Bounded self-interest.

Development of Behavioral Finance II.
• Anomalies: Efficient Capital Markets.
• Excessive volatility.
• Excessive trading.
• Over and under-reaction to news.
• 1980’s: Werner DeBondt: coined the term Behavioral Finance.
• Prospect Theory: Kahnemann and Tversky1980s.

Development III
• BF takes findings from psychology.
• Incorporates human biases into finance.
• Which psychological biases? Potentially
infinite.
• Bounded rationality/bounded
selfishness/bounded willpower.
• Bounded rationality/emotions/social factors.

Recent Development: Behavioural
Corporate Finance
• Researchers recognise that biases that affect
investors and financial markets also may
affect managers and corporate decision-
making.
• Investment appraisal/capital
structure/dividends
![Page 7: Behavioural Corporate Finance. - University of Bathpeople.bath.ac.uk/mnsrf/Teaching 2011/Cass 2010 BCF.pdf · 33 Example • Your company appraised a new project two years ago. It](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030910/5b589f7c7f8b9a657c8c3126/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

BCF: 2 approaches (Baker and
Ruback)
• Irrational Managers (taking investor rationality
as given => EMH/accurate pricing in FMs): eg
managerial overconfidence and corporate debt
• Irrational Investors: affect on rational managers’
decisions (investment/financing/dividends)
• => market timing (equity
issues/repurchases)/dividend catering.

Potential biases.
• Overconfidence/optimism
• Regret.
• Prospect Theory/loss aversion.
• Representativeness.
• Anchoring.
• Gambler’s fallacy.
• Availability bias.
• Salience….. Etc, etc.

Bias 1: Managerial Overconfidence
• Effect on Investment Appraisal
• Effect on Capital Structure
• Effect on Dividend Policy.

Managerial Overconfidence
• Psychologists: Agents more likely to be Overconfident when a) Task is very risky/outcomes uncertain.
• b.) Task is complicated
• c.) Agents are committed to the task/project.
• => Managers!
• Evidence: gender effects: age/experience effects (confirmation bias).

12
Managerial Overconfidence
• Confirmation bias:
• Risky outcomes are a combination of skill and luck
• Confirmation bias: good outcomes are attributed to skill: bad outcomes are attributed to bad luck, and are therefore discounted
• Bayesian updating.

Behavioural Problems versus
Incentive problems
• Traditional View: managers may take bad
projects due to private benefits/ empire
builders. Can be corrected to an extent by
incentive schemes/equity/stock options
• Behavioural View: if managers biased/ may
think they are doing the right thing for
shareholders: much more difficult to
correct! Education?

• Perfect Market conditions
• Traditional researchers brought in imperfections like managerial agency problems/incentive problems
• Asymmetric Information
• Debt => V possibly
• Debt disciplines managers to work harder
• Debt positive signal to the market.

Overconfidence and debt
• “Overconfidence may induce firms to have
an excessive level of debt in capital
structure.” Shefrin 1999
• Implication: overconfidence is value-
reducing

Is overconfidence bad or good: 1?
• Investment Appraisal: too many bad (-ve) NPV projects
• But: Managers may be naturally risk-averse (undiversified human capital tied up in business => may reject good (risky) projects from shareholders viewpoint)
• Therefore, managerial OC and risk-aversion may offset each other (Gervais et al)
![Page 20: Behavioural Corporate Finance. - University of Bathpeople.bath.ac.uk/mnsrf/Teaching 2011/Cass 2010 BCF.pdf · 33 Example • Your company appraised a new project two years ago.

20
Is Overconfidence good or bad: 2?
• Capital Structure:
• We have argued that OC => debt => V ?
• But: Fairchild’s (2005) model:
• OC => D => Expected Financial Distress
• But, OC => Managerial effort => increase probability of success.
• Therefore, ambiguous effect of OC on firm value.

Venture capitalists and
overconfidence
• Zacharakis finds that VCs are overconfident in
their assessments of entrepreneurs’ business plans.
• Invest in too many bad ventures.
• Suggests formal ways of eliminating VC’s OC.
• But do we want to completely eliminate
VCs/Es/managers’ confidence/ebullience/animal
spirits?

Bounded Rationality and Investment
Appraisal: 1
• Many projects on the manager’s desk to appraise.
• Bounded rationality/rule of thumb/heursrics =>
manager may only look at subset of projects?
• Good or bad?
• May be missing out on good projects, but
economising on effort and resources (trade-off)

Example of hyperbolic discounting:
• “I have ten Saturdays to do my essay. Each Saturday, I must decide whether to go to the cinema or do the essay.”
• Each Saturday, I say “I will go to the cinema this week, and start the essay next week.”
• In the end, I leave the essay to the last week, when I must do it!
• Similar problems for managers in investment appraisal.

Bounded Rationality and Investment
Appraisal: 3
• NPV: static, ‘now-or-never’ approach
• Real Option approach.
• Option to delay, option to expand, option to
abandon.
• Flexibility in managerial decision-making
(particularly valuable in the face of extreme
uncertainty: eg R and D
• Project’s Value-added = Static NPV + RO value

29
Bounded Rationality and Investment
Appraisal: 2 (continued)
• In real-world, managers do not use real
options much
• Behaviourally, status quo bias, cognitive
dissonance, simply don’t like
flexibility/decision-making.
• William Joyce’s “ice-cream” example!!!

Investment Appraisal and Real Option to
abandon (Statman and Caldwell)
• One of the most valuable of real options is the
option to abandon.
• Initially, invest in a project if NPV > 0.
• Later (say two years later): re-appraise the
project.
• Continue project if
• Otherwise, abandon.
• Ignore sunk costs.

Refusal to Abandon/Project
entrapment/escalation of commitment
(Statman and Caldwell)
• Textbook Economic accounting
(comparison of PVs from abandoning and
continuing, ignoring sunk cost)
• Mental Accounting/framing
• Managers include sunk loss: chase it!
• Entrapment re-inforced by regret theory/loss
aversion/responsibility (see Staw).

Example
• Your company appraised a new project two years ago. It had a positive NPV. So, you invested in it.
• Now, you are re-appraising it.
• It is failing. In the first two years, it has destroyed value to the tune of - £2,000M.
• Your options: abandon the project for abandonment value £1,000M (eg assets sold).
• Continue the project => equal probability of future success (Present value = £2,000M) or failure (present value = 0)

34
Correct economic accounting
approach
• Ignore sunk loss
• Abandonment => £1,000M
• Continuation => equal prob of zero or
£2,000M
• Risk-aversion => abandon (market will like
this!)

35
Mental Accounting plus Prospect
theory
• Adding in the sunk loss
• Abandonment => -£1,000M
• Continuation => zero in good state, -£2,000 in bad state
• Look at prospect theory diagram => “risk-seeking in negative domain” => continue project
• Managerial chasing of loss (Las Vegas!)
• Worsened by regret theory/responsibility/corporate blame!

Mental accounting and dividends
• Miller-Modiglani dividend irrelevance
• Investors indifferent between capital gains
and dividends
• Mental accounting/framing/self-control

BCF- Irrational Investors approach
• Dividend catering
• Repurchase timing
• Issuing overvalued equity (see Jensen’s paper)
• Corporate Name changes.
• Rational Managers exploiting investor irrationality

Latest research: Bounded self-
interest
• Principal-agent problems in corporate finance (moral hazard)
• Eg Investor puts money into corporation
• Then manager may shirk/steal/waste money on favourite projects/private benefits
• Solution: Incentive Schemes (managerial equity/stock options), monitoring
• …..

39
Latest research: Bounded self-
interest (continued)
• Bounded self-interest => not totally self-
interested
• “Fairness”, trust, empathy.
• Guilt, shame….
• Important in investor/manager
