--Fuzzy Day 2012 - Presented by the Society of Quantitative Analysts (SQA)
During the past decade financial markets witnessed significant dislocations in traditional pricing relationships. An emerging field of evolutionary finance attempts to reconcile observed market anomalies by applying Darwin's principle of natural selection to study trading behavior and asset price dynamics. This new perspective, with Adaptive Markets Hypothesis (AMH) at its core, views markets as a competitive and adaptive mechanism as investors learn from and adapt to the changing environment. Under AMH, this market selection mechanism transfers wealth to investors who are well adapted to the environment from investors who are less adapted. This half-day conference brings together leading experts in cognitive science, behavioral and computational finance to present thought-provoking empirical and experimental evidence of human (biased) learning and to discuss implications of learning and adaptation to investment management All-expert program includes Andrew Lo, Dean LeBaron, Nicholas Barberis and more. NYC venue is to be posted soon. Please visitwww.sqa-us.org for more information and registration.
