具体描述

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.

读后感

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...  

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”...  

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...

尽管有诸多反例和不完美，有效市场假说在经济学中的老大地位还是没有被人轻易撼动。行为主人者攻击道：“有效市场假说中的“理性人”只能是存在于有效市场学派脑子里，现实世界根本没有人真正做到那样的理性，因为我们经常可以看到人们情绪失控下做出的糟糕决策，甚至我们自己...  

用户评价

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。

投资确实需要这样的大一统理论研究，片面的学术研究几乎没有实用价值

看完感觉就是观点少 扯了一堆没用的

Andrew Lo把这些年来的研究堆叠在一起，说是created a new theroy。读完并未感觉豁然开朗。太多的铺陈以至于失却了主题。最后关于harvey lodish的故事打动人心。

从以往的了解，罗闻全开创了生物金融学这个领域，试图证明损失厌恶等异象为常态，在本书中作者试图挑战有效市场假说，提出了适应性市场假说，这种观点还有待商榷，这本书总体而言还可读，但是并没有达到预期
