Efficient Markets Hypothesis

The Adaptive Markets Hypothesis: Market Efficiency from an Evolutionary Perspective ArXiv ID: ssrn-602222 “View on arXiv” Authors: Unknown Abstract One of the most influential ideas in the past 30 years is the Efficient Markets Hypothesis, the idea that market prices incorporate all information rationally a Keywords: Efficient Markets Hypothesis, Market Efficiency, Asset Pricing, Informational Efficiency, Financial Theory, Equity Complexity vs Empirical Score Math Complexity: 3.0/10 Empirical Rigor: 2.0/10 Quadrant: Philosophers Why: The paper proposes a conceptual framework (Adaptive Markets Hypothesis) to reconcile EMH and behavioral finance using evolutionary principles, but it lacks mathematical derivations, empirical data, or backtesting details, focusing instead on theoretical exposition and implications for practice. flowchart TD A["Research Goal: Challenge EMH with Evolutionary Perspective"] --> B["Methodology: Literature Review & Theoretical Framework"] B --> C["Input Data: Historical Market Anomalies & Behavioral Studies"] C --> D["Process: Adaptive Markets Hypothesis Integration (Lo 2004)"] D --> E["Key Findings: 1.

From Efficient Market Theory to BehavioralFinance ArXiv ID: ssrn-349660 “View on arXiv” Authors: Unknown Abstract The efficient markets theory reached the height of its dominance in academic circles around the 1970s. Faith in this theory was eroded by a succession of discov Keywords: efficient markets hypothesis, behavioral finance, market anomalies, asset pricing, financial bubbles, Equities Complexity vs Empirical Score Math Complexity: 6.5/10 Empirical Rigor: 4.0/10 Quadrant: Lab Rats Why: The paper presents formal econometric models and variance tests (e.g., present value equations, vector autoregressions) indicating advanced math, but relies on historical data analysis and theoretical critique without detailed backtest specifications, datasets, or implementation code. flowchart TD A["Research Goal: Explain Market Anomalies"] --> B["Methodology: Comparative Analysis"] B --> C["Data: Equities & Historical Prices"] C --> D["Computational Process: Test EMH vs. Behavioral Models"] D --> E["Key Findings: Behavioral Factors Drive Bubbles"] D --> F["Key Findings: Markets are not Fully Efficient"]
