Half of all Americans have money in the stock market, yet economists can't agree on whether investors and markets are rational and efficient, as modern financial theory assumes, or irrational and inefficient, as behavioral economists believe--and as financial bubbles, crashes, and crises suggest. This is one of the biggest debates in economics and the value or futility of investment management and financial regulation hang on the outcome. In this groundbreaking book, Andrew Lo cuts through this debate with a new framework, the Adaptive Markets Hypothesis, in which rationality and irrationality coexist.
Drawing on psychology, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and other fields, Adaptive Markets shows that the theory of market efficiency isn't wrong but merely incomplete. When markets are unstable, investors react instinctively, creating inefficiencies for others to exploit. Lo's new paradigm explains how financial evolution shapes behavior and markets at the speed of thought--a fact revealed by swings between stability and crisis, profit and loss, and innovation and regulation.
A fascinating intellectual journey filled with compelling stories, Adaptive Markets starts with the origins of market efficiency and its failures, turns to the foundations of investor behavior, and concludes with practical implications--including how hedge funds have become the Galapagos Islands of finance, what really happened in the 2008 meltdown, and how we might avoid future crises.
An ambitious new answer to fundamental questions in economics, Adaptive Markets is essential reading for anyone who wants to know how markets really work.
Andrew W. Lo is the Charles E. and Susan T. Harris Professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management and director of the MIT Laboratory for Financial Engineering. He is the author of Hedge Funds and the coauthor of A Non-Random Walk Down Wall Street and The Econometrics of Financial Markets (all Princeton). He is also the founder of AlphaSimplex Group, a quantitative investment management company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

评分看得真是手不释卷。 还没看完。 讲了很多。 大概是讲: 情绪是理性的基础,人类把对之前环境适应的反应内化成了情绪,是理性,高效的。但一旦环境变了,这种原本适应环境的行为在新的条件下就非常不理智了。在市场上也是这样。 很难一下总结。 先记个例子吧 就是投资的人都知道...
评分人类实时形成的贴现率曲线在一张图上的形状类似于双曲线——短期内非常高,在长期内非常平坦——因此被称为双曲贴现。 尤金·法玛有一个聪明的方法来避免双曲贴现陷阱。当法码被邀请演讲或参与一些商业活动时,他说了一个决定是否接受的简单规则:无论一件事情有多遥远,他会问...
评分从西方经济学体系开始建立,市场就一直高傲地在那里,任各路专家、各路商人、各路散民研究探索,有时给人类很大自信,有时给人类重重一击。数字、逻辑、心理,对市场的解读似乎都对,又似乎都不准。有效市场和理性经济人假说都知道是绝对情况,但丝毫不影响经济学家们用模型算...
就像另一个安老师所说:economics is great place to get questions, but shitty place to get answers. 罗老师这本书差不多总结了近十几年他的paper,试图用一个大一统的理论框架把所有东西套进去,理论本身并不高明,没有特别多闪闪发光的犀利的新颖的观点,但是罗老师涉猎广泛,而且是个特别好的storyteller。与其说是理论,更不如说是种变化的世界观,最重要的是罗老师是个好人,宣扬的是正能量,善比聪明重要。内容三星正能量加一星。
评分预计六月中完成
评分说实话,乏善可陈。有意思的内容不到20%。许多内容很啰嗦,讲着讲着就变成文献综述了(因而掩盖了真正的主题),我并不在乎之前的人到底做过怎样的贡献,我在乎的是新insight到底有什么实际意义。内容完全可以缩减到一半的篇幅
评分罗大哥最大的功力就是特别能扯淡,去Youtube看看他的talk就会觉得你说什么我都信。可是看完又觉得写得有些混乱。书的前半部分很好地反驳了EMH,但后半部分究竟要怎么构建并推广AMH还是不清楚。感觉目前AMH仍旧是大而空的概念。而且男神最近的publication有点跑偏,做的好的神经科学+finance还是看Camelia Kuhnen。
评分差点就弃了,因为这个家伙说话实在太啰嗦!!但是,用盲人摸象的办法,以及不错的文笔,写了一个其实似是而非的理论
