Based on a set of strong but highly unrealistic assumptions its advocate Keywords: Modern Finance, Financial Economics, Economic Assumptions, Economic Models, Theoretical Critique, Academic/Financial Economics Complexity vs Empirical Score Math Complexity: 2.0/10 Empirical Rigor: 1.0/10 Quadrant: Philosophers Why: The paper is a conceptual overview comparing theoretical frameworks, with no mathematical derivations or empirical backtesting. It focuses on arguments and assumptions rather than data or implementation. flowchart TD A["Research Goal Compare Modern & Behavioral Finance"] --> B["Methodology Literature Review & Theoretical Analysis"] B --> C["Data/Inputs Key Assumptions & Major Arguments"] C --> D["Computational Process Critique & Comparison of Frameworks"] D --> E["Key Findings MF: Highly unrealistic assumptions BF: Incorporates psychological factors"]
