EFFICIENT
MARKET THEORY
Eugene Fama developed
EMH theory forty years ago in three forms that are weak , strong and
semi-strong .there were two important criteria of EMH theory.
·
Availability of new information can only
cause change in the prices of shares
·
The current prices of the shares shows
all the information or data used by the market
EMH a bad science
Arguments
against EMH theory
·
Even after the global recession many
companies, markets and governments are in favor to promote the semi –strong
hypothesis. Soon after the 1985 crash a academic community started a camp of
awareness that the EMH is a bad science in whatever form it is.
·
First reason for calling it a bad
science is that EMH follows those assumptions that have no empirical evidence
that these assumptions are 100% true.
·
Financial models are based on
efficiency, rationality and EMH is far from real world applicability therefore
EMH increases its chance of beng bad science
·
EMH doesn’t develop alternative
financial modes for the guidance of corporate sector and its management
·
EMH doesn’t provide models to guide the
corporate management that how they can set the shareholder wealth via equity
prices.
·
According to behavioral theorists
markets has a sense to memorize and view the society as a non-linier
·
The view of EMH is based on
assumption that anything can be maximize with market incoherence and
speculative thinking which is not true.
·
Financial models are bedrock for the
modern finance, unfortunately EMH failed to provide such models to the
corporate sector
Ø Longer-run resource value
misalignments in all likelihood speak to the most
genuine indication of the disappointment of the productive business
speculation. Most tests of the theory don't give prove, somehow, about the
likelihood of such misalignments. Different sorts of confirmation, then again,
unequivocally propose that such misalignments exist, at minimum on occasion. In
the stock market, the evaluating of shut end stores is difficult to see as the
result of a proficient business sector.
The 1987 stock market
crash, and the uncommon run-up in US stock costs over the 1990s are both
difficult to comprehend with the exception of regarding markets which have
moved some separation away from levels reliable with basics. The failure of
models focused around financial basics to clarify more than a little portion of
the year-to-year developments in coasting trade rates has undermined trust in
the limit of the effective business speculation to give a persuading portrayal
of this business sector. This certainty has been further23 disintegrated by the
odd conduct of the US dollar in the 1980s and the Yen in the 1990s. (Meredith

Arguments
in favor of EMH
According to M.A.
Skrutkowski, Lund University the ramifications of the Data Hypothesis are broad
to the point, that it is conceivable to harbor a considerable measure of
apparently bizarre value conduct under its top." We have no real way to
characterize "data" other than that its what moves costs. Then again,
the EMH did not result in the money related emergency. It was not awful science
however the terrible deeds that are the certain result of a liberated free
enterprise belief system that the EMH is utilized to legitimize. (M.A. Skrutkowski) .
·
Supporters of the EMH theory can contend
that numerous appearing infringement of the theory are rather illustrations of
the 'awful model' issue. Under this elucidation, unsurprising abundance returns
speak to remuneration for hazard, which is inaccurately measured by the benefit
valuing model being utilized. While this is an intelligent probability, it
probably applies with logically less constrain the longer the infringement stay
unexplained utilizing models focused around the proficient market speculation. (Meredith
Beechey)
