Abstract
It is widely believed that bankers played an important role in causing the financial crisis that began in August 2007. In this paper we demonstrate that the compensation system in the financial services industry which rewards perceived talents, rather than long-term performance, leads rational bankers to exhibit belief persistence, overconfidence and confirmation bias.
