‘The two quantifications of financial theory: a toy model’ by Christian Walter

I present without mathematical complexity a toy model of the well-known and celebrated Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH). This toy EMH-model aims to illuminate the correspondences between the multiple representations of EMH-models with a focus on the two main mathematical frameworks of EMH: the mean-variance universe of Markowitz (1952) under the “real world” probability P and the martingale pricing universe of Harrison and Kreps (1979) […]

At first sight, the nature of actions such as buying and selling seem to be very straightforward and, for this reason, not worthy of a philosophical investigation.

‘Taking the floor’ by D. Beunza

Modelling and governing finance are not two separate things. This is one of the main lessons that the sociology and the nascent philosophy of finance have taught us. The powerful interrelation between the models, the behavior, and the organization of financial markets is the focus of Daniel Beunza’s book Taking the Floor: Models, Morals, and Management in a […]

‘Trading at the speed of light’ by D. Mackenzie

Finance is inextricably linked to technological innovation. Not only does it constantly look for innovative companies to invest in, or technological innovations to give it a competitive advantage, but it is itself one of humanity’s foremost technological innovations. Present-day finance is the outcome of two fundamental technological innovations: money and machines. With the information revolution, […]
