先驱的现代Financial Economics

A Random Walk in the History of Economic Thought, 1900–1950

Donald R. Stabile, Professor of the College, St Mary’s College, Maryland, US

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.
