The Capital Structure

Each decision-making process is an important cognitive and emotional process which is open to the emotional effect. Individuals make a decision about a future uncertainty either to feel good or maximizing gain by minimizing the loss ratio. Recently, researches in finance have criticized that the capital structure decisions and firms’ funding and strategic choices deviate from the traditional neoclassical paradigm. Furthermore there is a nascent empirical literature that has exposed interesting evidence of the effects of managerial behavioral biases. Managers’ decisions, that to create the capital structure, have a vital importance for the company. The behavioral finance (BF) approach may be revealed useful results in the process of solving decision-makers’ behaviors and thoughts. In this context the purpose of this study is to reveal if the managers are affected by their behavioral characteristics in the process of the financing decision-making, based on the findings of studies in the literature. From this point of view behavioral finance literature, which is about the financing and capital structure decisions, is investigated.

Introduction. The article analyzes the differences between traditional finance and behavioral finance. The basic tools of micro-behavioral finance are highlighted, the influence of behavioral finance on ensuring the effective result of the activity of economic relations is determined. The necessity of further study of behavioral finance in modern financial science is substantiated. It describes how behavioral finance is intended to explain the behavior of economic relations in financial market decision-making, as well as how the behavioral approach is sufficiently manifested in predicting the effects of an entity's activities today. Purpose. The methodology of work is studied in the understanding of the concept of "behavior of people", as well as their representatives on the subjects of economic dependence. Results. In recent decades, a new science has emerged and is developing - behavioral finance, which is aimed at clarifying a number of anomalies that emerge in the financial markets. Behavioral finance casts doubt on the rational behavior of market participants and examines deviations in the decision-making system. Conclusion. Assessment of the prospects of enterprise development, taking into account changes in the economy and behavioral finance is the basis for the formation of forecast data and drawing up plans. As a rule, virtually all forecasting methods are based on changes that occur from one period to another, without taking into account the behavioral factor, which allows only to predict the financial results of the enterprise while maintaining existing trends in the market environment, without taking into account possible qualitative changes and may lead to inefficient economic activity, and thus to a decrease in profit.

Hierarchy Process

Purpose Research in the area of behavioral finance has demonstrated that investors exhibit irrational behavior while making investment decisions. Investor behavior usually deviates from logic and reason, and consequently, investors exhibit various behavioral biases which impact their investment decisions. The purpose of this paper is to rank the behavioral biases influencing the investment decision making of individual equity investors from the state of Punjab, India. This research would provide valuable insight into the different behavioral biases to investors and other participants of the capital market and help them in improving investment decisions. Design/methodology/approach The research is conducted on the individual equity investors of Punjab, India. Fuzzy analytic hierarchy process was applied to rank the factors influencing the decision making of individual equity investors of Punjab. The primary factors considered for the study are overconfidence bias, representative bias, anchoring bias, availability bias, regret aversion bias, loss aversion bias, mental accounting bias and herding bias. Findings The three most influential criteria were herding bias, loss aversion bias and overconfidence bias. The five most influential sub-criteria were “I readily sell shares that have increased in value (C61),” “News about the company (Newspapers, TV and magazines) affects my investment decision (C84),” “I invest each element of my investment portfolio separately (C71)” and “I usually hold loosing stock for long time, expecting trend reversal (C52).” Research limitations/implications Although sample survey conducted in the present study was based on a limited sample selected from a particular area that truly represented the total population, it is considered as the limitation of this study. Practical implications The outcome of this research provides investors with a better understanding of behavioral biases that influence their decision making. This study provides them a guideline on different behavioral biases that they should consider while making investment decisions. Originality/value The research model is based on the available literature on behavioral finance and the research results and findings would add value to the existing knowledge base.
