I found research in neuroeconomics so fascinating that I focused my doctoral dissertation on it, from bias in financial decision-making and the stock market to the role of money in marriages. As 20th-century American economist Benjamin Graham wrote, “The investor’s chief problem – and even his worst enemy – is likely to be himself.”
