Product Description
Review
"An important and timely book, [it] offers a fresh look at what the efficient markets hypothesis really implies. Summarizing forty years of asset pricing tests, it compels researchers to think deeply about what they are doing." - Bernt Arne Odegaard, Norwegian School of Management, Central Bank of Norway; "This book, whose rousing style drew me in immediately, is remarkable in how well it is able honestly to convey the core of modern finance theory and then to go on to criticize it fairly." - Thomas Sargent, Stanford University, Hoover Institution"
Review
This book, whose rousing style drew me in immediately, is remarkable in how well it is able honestly to convey the core of modern finance theory and then to go on to criticize it fairly.

Serious Finance
27 Jun 2007
Format:Paperback
This book and John Cochrane's "asset pricing" complement each other very well. Bossaerts discuss extremely important and overlooked issues in asset pricing theory and empirics in a very compelling way.
As a practitioner with an advanced degree, i found it a valuable read, and recomend "the paradox" to any serious finance practitioner or graduate student.
Let me end quoting the book (p.84):
"Asset pricing theory is both elegant and logically compelling. It is a nice piece of applied mathematics. But this is not suficient to conclude that it has scientic merit. To establish the latter, its predictions need to be verified in a variety of contexts."
Couldn't agree more.
