Financial crisis and investor behavior

Our study offers insights into the role of investor behavior during periods of turmoil and its impact on the financial sphere. Interestingly, this study aims to establish the influence of investor heterogeneity, investor sentiment, and corporate investor behavior on the dynamics, investment strategies, and financial stability of financial markets. The included studies focus mostly on crises observed during the last decade with diverse origins, distinct mechanisms, and valuable lessons. This study highlights that investor behavior and financial crises play central roles in financial market dynamics, driving investor decisions, strategies, and, consequently, financial stability. These contributions are valuable for academics, practitioners, policymakers, and regulators in this field.
