Peter Norman Sørensen is Professor of Finance at the Department of Economics, University of Copenhagen. His research applies economic theories of asymmetric information to examine potential inefficiencies in investment and financial market trading behavior. This presentation will be based on recent work, joint with Marco Ottaviani of Bocconi University, focusing on the favorite-longshot bias arising in prediction markets. |
