Assignment Task

Part 1:

With direct reference to some of the quotes, comments and details outlined in the two articles, you must identify three unique behavioural finance/economics concepts that you have covered in this unit that apply to some of the comments/phrases/facts/discussion in the articles. Hint: In particular you may wish to think about what is underlying the popularity or underlying behaviours of the people being quoted in both articles. Your answer must define each unique concept identified and reference at least one different supporting peer-reviewed academic journal article for each one of your responses. E.g., you will have one unique reference (total of 3) for each one of your identified concepts.

Part 2:

Using the three concepts you have identified and defined in Part 1, you must then explain and link the concept you have identified, particularly why it might be driving some of the commentary in the articles. Your discussion should at minimum include references to peer-reviewed journal articles and if relevant to your chosen concept – economic/financial data (e.g., historical price charts). 

The journal articles you use for references can be from the list that have been presented, or they can be from your own independent research using Google scholar, Curtin Library databases etc. Price charts may be externally sourced if they are correctly referenced.
