The economists who began using statistics to analyze financial
markets in the 1950s have been credited with revolutionizing the
scholarship of investing and with inaugurating modern financial
economics. By examining the work of economists who used statistics
to analyze financial markets before 1950, Donald Stabile provides
evidence about the forerunners of modern financial economics. In
studying these predecessors, this innovative book reveals that,
starting around 1900, there were economists in the United States
who believed that changes in stock prices could be treated as a
random variable to be analyzed with statistical methods, and who
used early versions of the efficient markets theory to justify
their belief. Although they did not call themselves Bayesians, the
author explores how they adhered to a philosophy consistent with
Bayesian statistics. An epilogue considers the linkages between the
forerunners of modern finance, its innovators and modern
successors. An original work in the history of economic thought,
Forerunners of Modern Financial Economics will be of great interest
to both economists and historians interested in the development of
statistical finance and economic thought, as well as to
statisticians, financial analysts, and advanced undergraduate and
graduate students studying financial economics.
