Abstract

This study has two main purposes. Its first purpose is to analyse the influence of sociodemographic characteristics and investment experience of individual and institutional investors on their investment behaviours in the stock market. The second purpose of the present paper is to study the impact of the investment behaviours on the investment decisions following the market selloff in March 2020 that preceded the emergence of COVID 19. Additionally, this study seeks to analyse the potential impact of the social distancing measures on the herd mentality influencing the investment decision.
