ABSTRACT: Affect refers to the physiological processes in the nervous system that are responsible for emotions and feelings. This dissertation studies the relationship between affect and three aspects of financial markets. The first chapter examines affective influences in the stock market as a whole. The second chapter zooms in and studies the relationship between market participants’ affect and their trading decisions. Finally, the third chapter takes the perspective of another kind of market participant, the publically traded firm, and studies how affect influences corporate financial policy. These three studies contribute to a broader research effort to develop a structured and comprehensive theory of behavioral finance based on findings from neuroscientific studies. Each study provides novel evidence that specific affective factors exhibit distinct relationships with the cross-section of stock returns, are each relevant to different investor trading decisions, and can help corporations improve their price performance with regards to stock market crashes.
RESUMEN: Los procesos fisiológicos que tienen lugar en el sistema nervioso y que son responsables de las emociones y los sentimientos a menudo son referidos en la literatura del campo científico de la neurociencia como “emociones” –en inglés, affect. Mediante tres estudios empíricos, esta tesis doctoral estudia la relación que se establece entre las emociones y tres aspectos de los mercados financieros. El primer capítulo examina de forma global la influencia de las emociones en el mercado bursátil. Por su parte, los capítulos segundo y tercero abordan dos áreas específicas de dicha influencia. Por una parte, el segundo capítulo estudia la relación que se establece entre las emociones de quienes participan en el mercado bursátil y sus decisiones comerciales. Por otra parte, el tercer capítulo se centra en la perspectiva de empresas cotizadas y documenta cómo influyen las emociones en su política financiera.
