Description

'Forerunners of Modern Financial Economics is a short book with a number of attractive features. The subject is treated in an introductory fashion and the text is pleasant to read. Various fascinating intellectuals from the 1900-50 period that contributed, in some significant fashion, to financial economics are identified.' - Geoffrey Poitras, EH.Net 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.
