A new, evolutionary explanation of markets and investor behavior
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. This is one of the biggest debates in economics and the value or futility of investment management and financial regulation hangs on the answer. 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 is 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. An ambitious new answer to fundamental questions about economics and investing, Adaptive Markets is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how markets really work.

Описание: CayCee M. Johnson and Keith L. Johnson share affirmations, insights, and advice on living a meaningful life based on Christian principles in this roadmap to life. On the subject of connections, they write, "Isn't it funny how when we are faced with issues and having a tough day, true friends can feel it, or we end up on their minds, and they call us. Thanks for being there, friends; I'm glad that you are. Where I go, I go in faith. The turmoil doesn't matter. My faith is well founded; therefore, my future is secure with the Almighty." On determination, they declare, "Regardless of the turmoil that surrounds me in the world, I am blessed to say I stand. I stand for my family, friends, and brothers and sisters. I am proud to say that I stand, and I thank those who make sure that I continue to stand upright before my God and before man." Other topics include encouragement, faith, focus, gratitude, joy, kindness, love, peace, satisfaction, self-awareness, strength, and transformation. Filled with Scriptures, quotes from religious leaders, and hard-won lessons, this book will serve as an inspiring resource no matter what you're facing.

A new, evolutionary explanation of markets and investor behavior
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 Gal pagos 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.

Gothic has proved marvellously adaptable, and fertile ground for endless imaginative reinvention. This book provides an introduction to the wealth of Gothic phenomena. If one thing is true, it is that Gothic knows no boundaries.
