A Non-Random Walk Down Wall Street Summary

A Non-Random Walk Down Wall Street by Andrew W. Lo

For over half a century, financial experts have regarded the movements of markets as a random walk - unpredictable meanderings akin to a drunkard's unsteady gait - and this hypothesis has become a cornerstone of modern financial economics and many investment strategies. In this text, the authors argue that markets are not completely random after all and that predictable components do exist. They provide an account of the techniques for detecting predictabilities and evaluating their statistical and economic significance, and offer a glimpse into the financial technologies of the future.

A Non-Random Walk Down Wall Street Reviews

What Andrew W. Lo and A. Craig MacKinlay impressively do... [is look] for hard statistical evidence of predictable patterns in stock prices.... Here they marshal the most sophisticated techniques of financial theory to show that the market is not completely random after all. - Jim Holt, Wall Street Journal A classic text in the theory of finance... [and] also one for practitioners. - Diane Coyle, Independent This book is highly recommended to academic and private-sector economists who are interested in understanding better the behavior of financial market returns. - Lars Peter Hansen, University of Chicago
