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

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...  

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...  

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...

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”...  

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...

预计六月中完成

从生物学/心理学的角度阐述金融市场的历史演变，非常新颖与实用的角度。

从生物学/心理学的角度阐述金融市场的历史演变，非常新颖与实用的角度。

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

陆陆续续读了很久。如果关于挤掉关于智人演化，行为偏差，风险管理基础知识介绍，金融危机简史，对未来社会发展进步展望的水分，这本书的中心思想可以20页篇幅内说完的。定位在后EMH概念的adaptive market介绍，科普读物罢了，谨慎过誉。
