Abstract

This study tries to identify the common investor biases during Covid-19 and whether they differ according to different investor characteristics. In addition, the research examines whether the investor behaviour and perceptions are different from previous crises and does the behaviour/strategy change during a financial crisis. Finally, this study attempts to further explain the reasons behind the extraordinary market reaction to Covid-19.
