Editorial: Exploring market participants’ behaviour in disruptive global environment

Abstract

Over the last decade economic conditions, market dynamics, traditional business models and individual behavioral patterns underwent significant and rapid changes due to major natural disasters, global crises, technological advancements, pandemics, war and other global disruptive events (Liu et al., 2021). It shook the equilibrium, stability of and trust in existing systems and industries (Brychko et al., 2021; Ibn-Mohammed et al., 2021), while uncertainty and volatility became a new market reality, forcing individuals, companies, and institutions participants to adapt and modify their behaviors (Aldao et al., 2021; Fiszeder & Małecka, 2022) Understanding market participants’ behavior in the times of disruptive global events becomes crucial for individuals, corporations, and institutions operating in such an environment.
