A Behavioral Fuzzy Model for Analysis of Overreaction and Underreaction in the Brazilian Stock Market
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper empirical tests for the overreaction and underreaction hypothesis in the Brazilian stock market are presented. For these tests, due to the complexity of these phenomena, a new model based on the fuzzy set theory is proposed. It is shown that such model is strongly connected with two heuristics of behavioral finance: representativeness and anchoring. The proposed model is used to form portfolios based on financial indexes of open firms. The analysis is applied for stocks from petrol/petrochemical and textile firms, with financial indexes ranging from 1994 to 2005.
