Behavioral Finance Explains: Why Americans Misunderstand the Economy
In this episode of the Bryan Foltice Behavioral Finance Podcast, Dr. Bryan Foltice discusses a U.S. survey revealing widespread economic misconceptions among Americans. Key findings show that many Americans believe the economy is shrinking, the stock market is down, and unemployment is at a high, contrary to actual data showing economic growth, stock market highs, and low unemployment rates.
Foltice explores the reasons behind these misconceptions, including a lack of stock market participation and the impact of confirmation bias, and emphasizes the potential political motivations behind misinformation. He also raises concerns about future economic and real estate market stability given the high percentage of people living paycheck to paycheck.
