Terrance Odean

Terrance Odean had done a phenomenal amount of work in the field of behavioural finance, and apparently Daniel Kahneman, the man who won a Nobel for his work on the subject believes he will be a future winner of that prize.

I read and watched his talk on various studies on various investment foibles which was both entertaining and interesting.

A number of his papers can be found here.

I couldn't find any books that he had written, but he is quoted in a number, which I guess suggests he spends more time on his research papers.

Anyway, it was a pleasant change to listen to an academic who is an entertaining speaker.
