Die Kraft einer Wirtschaftskrise kann auf Generationen hinaus dem Wohlstand einer Gesellschaft schaden und ihre politische und soziale Ordnung verandern. Das Finanzverhalten der Menschen kann nicht nur individuelle Verluste verursachen sondern auch ganze Markte ins Ungleichgewicht manovrieren. Die Standardokonomik erklart das Finanzverhalten mit dem Prinzip der Nutzenmaximierung, die Verhaltensokonomik mit psychosozialen Einflussen. Empirische Modelle, welche beide Aspekte vereinen, um das Ma der individuellen Rationalitat der Individuen abzuschatzen, wurden selten untersucht. Marius Oleksy nutzt die Standard- und Verhaltensokonomik, um sich der Beantwortung der Frage zu widmen: Welche kritischen Anlasse fuhren zu individuellem Fehlverhalten von Aktienanlegerinnen und -anlegern und welchen Einfluss ubt die finanzielle Allgemeinbildung aus? Er zeigt, dass eine Kombination aus Mangel an Finanzkompetenz, Bounded Rationality und einem geringen Ma der individuellen Rationalitat das individuelle Fehlerhaften begunstigt.
