Outline of Final Research Achievements	The goal of this research project has been to start exploring cognitive and behavioural biases of market actors as they experienced them in the emerging financial markets of the early eighteenth century. Tapping into my knowledge of British archives, I have been able to collect and examine relevant archival materials. Some interim results have been tested in international conferences and others meetings. I hope to further develop this research so that I can start submitting articles to top-ranking journals in the coming years.
