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.
作者是专业学者。全书是作者的专业理论的科普,内容涉及到心理学、进化论、金融等多个学科,几乎没有公式,有一些专业的图表。篇幅较长,有43万字,正文355页,注释与引用60页。信息浓度比较高。在经管类畅销书中算是比较烧脑的作品了。 作者在学术界提出了“适应性市场假说”...
評分书只看了一小半,看到了一些批评的声音,一些看法,权做讨论。 应该是基于我们传统的思维习惯,我们国人在看书的时候比较执迷于一套闭合的体系:逻辑严密,框架规整,也即偏好于一套自圆其说、充分自洽的理论,放之四海皆准,更优。因此很多读老外书的人常常大失所望,因为老外...
評分因为朋友推荐,以及亚马逊上评价还算不错,于是找来看了看 挺失望的 如果你看过Misbehaving (行为经济学),A Man for All Markets (对冲基金), Skin in the Game (风险、非理性行为与survival的关系) 能从这本书里面学到的东西会非常的少 另一方面,书中花了相当篇幅介绍神经科...
評分有人批评说经济学家们有一种“羡慕物理学”情结——沉迷于构建精确的数学模型,而不是去研究凌乱的现实世界。但一本新书认为,经济学家一直以来找错了对标的科学方向,他们本应该专注于生物学。 这一思想源自“行为经济学”学派。该学派指出,人类并不是某些模型所依赖的那种超...

書很長,有點囉嗦。 沒耐性的,就細讀2, 6, 8 ,10,11,12 章,其實就可以瞭。
评分看完感覺就是觀點少 扯瞭一堆沒用的
评分投資確實需要這樣的大一統理論研究,片麵的學術研究幾乎沒有實用價值
评分就像另一個安老師所說:economics is great place to get questions, but shitty place to get answers. 羅老師這本書差不多總結瞭近十幾年他的paper,試圖用一個大一統的理論框架把所有東西套進去,理論本身並不高明,沒有特彆多閃閃發光的犀利的新穎的觀點,但是羅老師涉獵廣泛,而且是個特彆好的storyteller。與其說是理論,更不如說是種變化的世界觀,最重要的是羅老師是個好人,宣揚的是正能量,善比聰明重要。內容三星正能量加一星。
