This accessible Handbook provides an essential entry point for those with an interest in the increasingly complex subject of financial decision making. It sheds light on new paradigms in society and the ways that new tools from private actors have affected financial decision making. Covering a broad range of key topics in the area, leading researchers summarize the state of the art in their respective areas of expertise, delineating their projections for the future.

Chapters cover both more traditional fields, such as regulation and the role of analysts, and emerging fields, such as artificial intelligence, neurofinance and robo-advising. Organized into three sections, the Handbook first deals with the natural and environmental factors that impact financial decision making, before moving on to examine the institutions, frameworks, and tools created for the purpose of aiding the decision-making process. It concludes by looking at financial advisors, household finance and enabling financial decision making.

This Handbook will be of great value to scholars and researchers invested in the fields of finance, economic psychology, business management and development. Its comprehensive introduction to current research in accounting and finance alongside multiple topics on technology and decision making will be invaluable for practitioners, policy makers and regulators.

Edited by Gilles Hilary, Houston Professor of Accounting and David McLean, William G. Droms Professor of Finance, McDonough School of Business, Georgetown University, US
