Information Efficiency in Financial and Betting Markets(ISBN=9780521816038) snb txt 网盘 pdf kindle 2025 lit 下载

The degree to which markets incorporate information is one of

the most important questions facing economists today. This book

provides a fascinating study of the existence and extent of

information efficiency in financial markets, with a special focus

on betting markets. Betting markets are selected for study because

they incorporate features highly appropriate to a study of

information efficiency, in particular the fact that each bet has a

well-defined end point at which its value becomes certain. Using

international examples, this book reviews and analyses the issue of

information efficiency in both financial and betting markets. Part

I is an extensive survey of the existing literature, while Part II

presents a range of readings by leading academics. Insights gained

from the book will interest students of financial economics,

financial market analysts, mathematicians and statisticians, and

all those with a special interest in finance or gambling.
