内容概要

　　This book emphasizes what standard texts and
research in economics and finance ignore: that there is as yet no
evidence from the analysis of real, unmassaged market data to
support the notion of Adam Smith's stabilizing Invisible Hand.
There is no empirical evidence for stable equilibrium, for a
stabilizing hand to provide self-regulation of unregulated markets.
This is in stark contrast with the standard model taught in typical
economics texts (Mankiw, 2000; Barro, 1997), which forms the basis
for the positions of the US Treasury, the European Union, the World
Bank, and the IMF, who take the standard theory as their credo
(Stiglitz, 2002). Our central thrust is to introduce a new
empirically based model of fnancial market dynamics that prices
options correctly and also makes clear the instability of financial
markets. Our emphasis is on understanding how markets really
behave, not how they hypothetically "should" behave as predicted by
completely unrealistic models.

章节摘录

版权页：The analogy of a heat bath with finance is that large trades violate the liquidityassumption, as, for example, when Citi-Bank takes a large position in Reals, justas taking too much energy out of the system's environment violates the assumptionthat the heat bath remains approximately in equilibrium in thermodynamics.The possibility of arbitrage would correspond to a lower entropy （Zhang, 1999）,reflecting correlations in the market dynamics. This would require history dependence in the returns distribution whereas the noarbitrage condition, which is guaranteed by the "efficient market hypothesis" （EMH） is satisfied by either statisticallyindependent or Markovian retums. Our empirically based model of volatility ofreturns and option pricing is based on the assumption of a Markov process withunbounded returns. Larger entropy means greater ignorance, more disorder, butentropy has been ignored in the economics literature. The emphasis in economictheory has been placed on the nonempirically based idealizations of perfect foresight, instant information transfer and equilibrium.3
