During the workshop, Małgorzata discussed the Behavioral Investor Type (BIT) model, which categorises investors into four main types: Preserver, Follower, Independent and Accumulator. Through this model, participants explored how personality traits affect investment behaviour and financial decisions. The teacher highlighted the importance of factors such as consistency, psychological and physiological traits, and how these elements directly influence investors’ actions and behaviour.
In addition to a theoretical introduction to the BIT model, the professor also discussed the Behavioral Alpha Process, a top-down approach that involves three crucial steps to assess an investor’s behavioural profile: identifying active or passive traits, administering a risk tolerance questionnaire and testing to identify possible behavioural biases.
This mobility not only strengthened scientific collaboration between the two institutions but also provided a valuable space for exchanging ideas and teaching experiences. For the students, the workshop offered a unique opportunity to learn different approaches to topics related to the cost of capital, while the professor obtained feedback on these concepts in a different academic context.
As part of the learning process, an interactive quiz was administered on the Quizziz platform, which made it possible to assess the student’s progress and their level of understanding of the topics covered.
Małgorzata’s visit represents a significant investment in the development of teachers’ skills, while at the same time strengthening personal and institutional relations with a view to future collaborations in the areas of science, teaching and student exchange.
This type of academic mobility is fundamental to enriching the training of students and developing teaching skills at both universities.
