- Explain how loss aversion impacts our decisions as consumers?arrow_forwardThere is a telling joke about two economists walking down the street. They spot a $20 bill on the sidewalk. One stoops to pick it up, but the other one says, “Don’t bother; if the bill was real, someone would have picked it up already.” The lesson is clear. A strong belief in efficient markets can disable the investor and make it appear that no research effort can be justified.

Does this signal improve market efficiency? Why or why not?arrow_forward
