Meir Statman is the Glenn Klimek Professor of Finance at Santa Clara University. His research focuses on behavioral finance. He attempts to understand how investors and managers make financial decisions and how these decisions are reflected in financial markets. His most recent book is Behavioral Finance: The Second Generation, published by the CFA Institute Research Foundation.

The questions he addresses in his research include: What are investors’ wants, and how can we help investors balance them? What are investors’ cognitive and emotional shortcuts, and how can we help them overcome cognitive and emotional errors? How are wants, shortcuts, and errors reflected in choices of saving, spending, and portfolio construction? How are they reflected in asset pricing and market efficiency?

"I'm not suggesting that people just be happy with what they have people. I think are striving and should strive (...) The reason I am where I am now is not because I was lying on my back doing nothing, it is because I worked really hard to get my papers, written to get them published in good journals, and so on."

- Meir Statman

"Everyone struggles and with at some point; just learn to live with what we have (...) When we are at my age or or a bit younger, but you cannot give up that drive the aspirations when you are young."

- Meir Statman

"It is time for you to change your saving habits and spend on what matters to you, whether it is again family or whether it is charity."
