Abstract
Every finance professional employs the concept of market efficiency. The theory, evidence and counterevidence focus on a couple of dozen highly influential articles published during the twentieth century. We
summarise the origins of and interlinkages between these contributions to the history of finance.

1. Introduction
The concept of efficiency is central to finance. Primarily, the term efficiency is used to describe a
market in which relevant information is impounded into the price of financial assets. This is the
primary focus of the articles reviewed here. Sometimes, however, economists use this word to
refer to operational efficiency, emphasising the way resources are employed to facilitate the
operation of the market. Most of this review is concerned with the former definition, namely the
informational efficiency of financial markets. At the end of this paper, we also consider the
microstructure of financial markets.
If capital markets are sufficiently competitive, then simple microeconomics indicates that investors
cannot expect to achieve superior profits from their investment strategies. But although this
appears self-evident today, it was far from obvious for the majority of the century. Up to the end of
the 1950s, there were few theoretical or empirical studies of securities markets; and until Cootner
(1964) collated a selection of papers from a wide variety of sources, the literature was dispersed
across journals in statistics, operations research, mathematics and economics.
The concept of market efficiency had been anticipated at the beginning of the century in the
dissertation submitted by Bachelier (1900)1 to the Sorbonne for his PhD in mathematics. In his
opening paragraph, Bachelier recognises that "past, present and even discounted future events are

reflected in market price, but often show no apparent relation to price changes". This recognition
of the informational efficiency of the market leads Bachelier to continue,
in his opening paragraphs, that "if the market, in effect, does not predict its fluctuations, it does
assess them as being more or less likely, and this likelihood can be evaluated mathematically".
This gives rise to a brilliant analysis that anticipates not only Albert Einstein's subsequent derivation
of the Einstein-Wiener process of Brownian motion, but also many of the analytical results that
were rediscovered by finance academics in the second half of the century. Sadly, Bachelier's
contribution was overlooked until it was circulated to economists by Paul Samuelson in the late
1950s (see Bernstein, 1992) and subsequently published in English by Cootner (1964).
Although there could have been an emerging theory of speculative markets during the first half of
the twentieth century, this was not to be. Instead, the early literature followed the path of
accumulating a variety of empirical observations that did not sit easily alongside the paradigms of
economics or the beliefs of practitioners. Bachelier had concluded that commodity prices fluctuate
randomly, and later studies by Working (1934) and Cowles and Jones (1937) were to show that
US stock prices and other economic series also share these characteristics. These studies were
largely overlooked by researchers until the late 1950s.
There was, in addition, disturbing evidence about the difficulty of beating the equity market. Alfred
Cowles III, founder of the Cowles Commission and benefactor of the Econometric Society,
published in the launch issue of Econometrica a painstaking analysis of many thousands of stock
selections made by investment professionals. Cowles (1933) found that there was no discernable
evidence of any ability to outguess the market. Subsequently, Cowles (1944) provided
corroborative results for a large number of forecasts over a much longer sample period. By the
1940s, there was therefore scattered evidence in favour of the weak and strong form efficiency of
the market, though these terms were not yet in use.

2. The Random Walk Model

The problem of the optimal search procedure for finding a drunk left in a middle of a field was
discussed early in the century by Karl Pearson (1905). If the drunk can be expected to stagger in a
totally unpredictable and random fashion, he is likely to end up closer to where he had been left
than to any other point.
In finance, this analogy has been applied to series whose successive returns are serially independent
(a more precise definition is provided in Fama, 1965, reviewed below). In the early 1950s
researchers were, for the first time, able to use electronic computers to study the behaviour of
lengthy price series. The assumption of economists was that one could "analyse an economic time
series by extracting from it a long-term movement, or trend, for separate study and then
scrutinising the residual portion for short-term oscillatory movements and random fluctuations"
(Kendall, 1953).
When Kendall examined 22 UK stock and commodity price series, however, the results surprised
him. He concluded that "in series of prices which are observed at fairly close intervals the
random changes from one term to the next are so large as to swamp any systematic effect which
may be present. The data behave almost like wandering series." The near-zero serial correlation
of price changes was an observation that appeared inconsistent with the views of economists.
Nevertheless, these empirical observations came to be labelled the "random walk model" or even
the "random walk theory".

If prices wander randomly, then this poses a major challenge to market analysts who try to predict
the future path of security prices. Drawing on Kendall's work and earlier research by Working
(1934), Roberts (1959) demonstrated that a time series generated from a sequence of random
numbers was indistinguishable from a record of US stock prices - the raw material used by market
technicians to predict future price levels. "Indeed," he wrote, "the main reason for this paper is to
call to the attention of financial analysts empirical results that seem to have been ignored in the
past, for whatever reason, and to point out some methodological implications of these results for
the study of securities."
Whereas Roberts was throwing the gauntlet to practitioners, Osborne (1959) analysed US stock
price data out of pure academic interest, presenting his results to other physicists at the US Naval
Research Laboratory. Osborne shows that common stock prices have properties analogous to the
movement of molecules. He applies the methods of statistical mechanics to the stock market, with
a detailed analysis of stock price fluctuations from the point of view of a physicist.
Despite the emerging evidence on the randomness of stock price changes, there were occasional
instances of anomalous price behaviour, where certain series appeared to follow predictable paths.
This includes a subset of the stock and commodity price series examined by Working (1934),
Cowles and Jones (1937) and Kendall (1953).
In 1960, however, there was a realisation that autocorrelation could be induced into returns series
as a result of using time-averaged security prices. Working (1960) and Alexander (1961)
independently discovered this. Once returns series are based on end-of-period prices, returns
appear to fluctuate randomly. The problem of time-averaging identified by Working is the first
research on thin trading (see Dimson, 1979) and a precursor to studies of market microstructure
(see section 5 below).
The mid-1960s was a turning point in research on the random character of stock prices. In 1964,
Cootner published his collection of papers on that topic, while Fama's (1965) doctoral dissertation
was reproduced, in its entirety, in the Journal of Business. Fama reviews the existing literature on
stock price behaviour, examines the distribution and serial dependence of stock market returns, and
concludes that "it seems safe to say that this paper has presented strong and voluminous evidence
in favour of the random walk hypothesis."

3. Market Efficiency
3.1 The concept of market efficiency
With a better understanding of price formation in competitive markets, the random walk model
came to be seen as a set of observations that can be consistent with the efficient markets hypothesis.
The switch of emphasis began with observations such as that of Samuelson (1965), whose Proof
That Properly Anticipated Prices Fluctuate Randomly began with the observation that "in
competitive markets there is a buyer for every seller. If one could be sure that a price would rise,
it would have already risen." Samuelson asserted that "arguments like this are used to deduce that
competitive prices must display price changes... that perform a random walk with no predictable

bias."
Samuelson explains that "we would expect people in the market place, in pursuit of avid and
intelligent self-interest, to take account of those elements of future events that in a probability
sense may be discerned to be casting their shadows before them." By presenting his proof in a
general form, Samuelson added rigour to our notion of a well-functioning market. It is not clear to
us whether these results ought to be seen as obvious or surprising, nor was it clear to Samuelson
who wrote that "the theorem is so general that I must confess to having oscillated over the years
in my own mind between regarding it as trivially obvious (and almost trivially vacuous) and
regarding it as remarkably sweeping. Such perhaps is characteristic of basic results."
Building on Samuelson's microeconomic approach, together with a taxonomy suggested by Harry
Roberts (1967), Fama (1970) assembled a comprehensive review of the theory and evidence of
market efficiency. Though his paper proceeds from theory to empirical work, he notes that most of
the empirical work preceded development of the theory.
The theory involves defining an efficient market as one in which trading on available information
fails to provide an abnormal profit. A market can be deemed to be efficient, therefore, only if we
posit a model for returns. From this point on, tests of market efficiency become joint tests of
market behaviour and models of asset pricing. We discuss this issue later.
The weak form of the efficient market hypothesis claims that prices fully reflect the information
implicit in the sequence of past prices. The semi-strong form of the hypothesis asserts that prices
reflect all relevant information that is publicly available, while the strong form of market efficiency
asserts information that is known to any participant is reflected in market prices. The literature
begins, therefore, with studies of weak form market efficiency.
Fama (1970) summarises the early random walk literature, his own contributions and other studies
of the information contained in the historical sequence of prices, and concludes that "the results are
strongly in support" of the weak form of market efficiency. He then reviews a number of semistrong and strong form tests, highlighting those that we cover in the next two sections, and
concludes that "in short, the evidence in support of the efficient markets model is extensive, and
(somewhat uniquely in economics) contradictory evidence is sparse." He concedes, however, that
"much remains to be done", and indeed, Fama (1991) subsequently returned to the fray with a
reinterpretation of the efficient markets hypothesis in the light of subsequent research.
3.2 Event studies
Studies of the semi-strong form of the efficient markets hypothesis can be categorised as tests of
the speed of adjustment of prices to new information. The principal research tool in this area is the
event study. An event study averages the cumulative performance of stocks over time, from a
specified number of time periods before an event to a specified number of periods after.
Performance for each stock is measured after adjusting for market-wide movements in security
prices. The first event study was undertaken by Fama, Fisher, Jensen and Roll (1969), though
the first to be published was by Ball and Brown (1968).
Using the market model or capital asset pricing model as the benchmark, these event studies

provide evidence on the reaction of share prices to stock splits and earnings announcements
respectively. In both cases, the market appears to anticipate the information, and most of the price
adjustment is complete before the event is revealed to the market. When news is released, the
remaining price adjustment takes place rapidly and accurately. The Fama, Fisher, Jensen and Roll
study, in particular, demonstrates that prices reflect not only direct estimates of prospective
performance by the sample companies, but also information that requires more subtle
interpretation.
In Scholes' (1972) study of the price effects of secondary offerings, he examines stock price
movements when the seller may be in possession of non-public information. On average, share
prices fall by an amount that reflects the value of this information. The impact of a secondary
distribution on the stock price is largely unaffected by the size of the transaction, which confirms
the depth of the market and the substitutability of one security for another. Note, however, that
there is some indication of post-event price drift, which may constitute a violation of market
efficiency.
3.3 Strong form efficiency
Since the first event studies, numerous papers have demonstrated that early identification of new
information can provide substantial profits. Insiders who trade on the basis of privileged
information can therefore make excess returns, violating the strong form of the efficient markets
hypothesis. Even the earliest studies by Cowles (1933, 1944), however, make it clear that
investment professionals do not beat the market.
While there was evidence on the performance of security analysts, until the 1960s there was a gap
in knowledge about the returns achieved by professional portfolio managers. With the
development of the capital asset pricing model by Treynor (1961) and Sharpe (1964) it became
clear that the CAPM can provide a benchmark for performance analysis. The first such study was
Treynor's (1965) article in Harvard Business Review on the performance of mutual funds, closely
followed by Sharpe's (1966) rival article.
The most frequently cited article on fund managers' performance was to be the detailed analysis of
115 mutual funds over the period 1955-64 undertaken by Jensen (1968). On a risk-adjusted basis,
he finds that any advantage that the portfolio managers might have is consumed by fees and
expenses. Even if investment management fees and loads are added back to performance
measures, and returns are measured gross of management expenses (ie, assuming research and
other expenses were obtained free), Jensen concludes that "on average the funds apparently were
not quite successful enough in their trading activities to recoup even their brokerage expenses."
Fama (1991) summarises a number of subsequent studies of mutual fund and institutional portfolio
managers's performance. Though some mutual funds have achieved minor abnormal gross returns
before expenses, pension funds have underperformed passive benchmarks on a risk-adjusted basis.
It is important to note that the efficient markets hypothesis does not rule out small abnormal
returns, before fees and expenses. Analysts could therefore still have an incentive to acquire and
act on valuable information, though investors would expect to receive no more than an average net
return. Grossman and Stiglitz (1980) formalise this idea, showing that a sensible model of
equilibrium must leave some incentive for security analysis.

To make sense, the concept of market efficiency has to admit the possibility of minor market
inefficiencies. The evidence accumulated during the 1960s and 1970s appeared to be broadly
consistent with this view. While it was clear that markets cannot be completely efficient in the
strong form, there was striking support for the weak and semi-strong forms, and even for versions
of strong form efficiency that focus on the performance on professional investment managers.

4. Stock Market Anomalies

4.1 Value, size and other regularities
There were, of course, occasional studies with contrary results, but until the 1980s these did not
appear to be important. Basu (1977) documented the use of price/earnings ratios to forecast stock
returns. In a study of 1400 firms over the period 1956-71, he observes low p/e securities
outperforming their high p/e counterparts by more than seven percent per year. Though his results
could be interpreted as a challenge to the CAPM benchmark that he employs, Basu regards his
results as indicative of a market inefficiency: "Securities trading at different multiples of earnings,
on average, seem to have been inappropriately priced vis-a-vis one another, and opportunities for
earning "abnormal" returns were afforded to investors."
Ball and Brown (1968) had already noted evidence of post-earnings announcement "drift" in the
direction indicated by an earnings surprise. Ten years later, the first published paper to draw
together literature on earnings-related anomalies was the survey by Ball (1978). In an appendix, he
summarised twenty studies of earnings and dividends, and concluded that the collective evidence of
anomalous behaviour was strong.
Basu's study of low p/e stocks was followed by publication of Banz's (1981) work on the long-run
rate of return from investing in smaller companies. Banz analyses monthly returns over the period
1931-75 on shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Over this interval, the fifty smallest
stocks outperformed the fifty largest by an average of one percentage point per month, on a riskadjusted basis. The small firm effect documented by Banz gave rise to a plethora of papers
examining this phenomenon (see Schwert, 1983) and has been corroborated in many different
countries (see Dimson and Marsh, 1989).
In addition to earnings- and size-related regularities in returns, there are a number of other puzzling
observations that present a challenge to the efficient markets hypothesis. A phenomenon that has
not yet been explained satisfactorily is the negative long-run performance of new issues,
documented by Ritter (1991) and Loughran and Ritter (1995). Using a sample of 1526 initial
public offerings over the period 1975-84, Ritter finds that an initial investment in these shares at the
end of the first day of trading would have generated substantial underperformance over the
following three years, relative to a wide variety of benchmarks including a detailed matching
procedure that controls for the market capitalisation and industry of each security.
A central difficulty in interpreting studies such as these is the joint hypothesis problem. The
magnitude of over- or under-performance depends critically on the choice of benchmark (see
Dimson and Marsh, 1986), and this makes it difficult to interpret the results. On the one hand,

anomalous behaviour may be an indication of market inefficiencies. On the other hand, even if
there is no bias or misestimation in computed abnormal returns, the regularity in returns may be
indicative of shortcomings in the underlying asset pricing model.
Fama and French (1992) show that two variables, closely related to Basu's earnings and Banz's
size variables, capture much of the cross-sectional variation in stock returns over the period 19631990. These results have been confirmed for a wide variety of non-US markets as well; see, for
example, Arshanapalli, Coggin and Doukas (1998). The main finding of Fama and French is that
market capitalisation and book-to-market equity subsumes the impact not only of these two
variables but also of price/earnings ratios and leverage. The Fama and French result may be
consistent with asset pricing theory, in which case the model can be regarded as an empirical model
in the spirit of arbitrage pricing theory. Alternatively, the influence of book-to-market equity, the
most powerful explanatory variable, may result from market overreaction, though the authors
report that simple tests do not confirm that size and book-to-market effects are due to the type of
market overreaction posited by, amongst others, DeBondt and Thaler (1985) (see section 4.3
below).
In addition to the regularities discussed in this section, there is also a literature on stock market
seasonalities, including month-of-the-year, week-of-the-month, day-of-the-week, and hour-of-theday effects (see Rozeff and Kinney (1976) and Keim (1983), Ariel (1987), French (1980), and
Harris (1986) respectively). As discussed in Dimson (1988), some of these patterns, notably the
January seasonal of small stock returns, may be consistent with either market inefficiencies or
seasonalities in asset pricing. Other patterns, notably those observed over very short periods, may
be explained better by market microstructure, a topic we defer to section 5.
4.2 Tests of fundamental valuation
Event studies, and many strong form tests, indicate that security prices respond efficiently to new
information. It remains possible that assets may be persistently over- or under-valued over long
periods of time. It is more difficult to test whether prices conform to fundamental values, than it is
to test whether prices respond appropriately to information. Nonetheless, despite the difficulty of
testing whether the level of security prices is correct, the literature has also evolved in this direction.
The two major challenges to the rational efficiency of the market are, first, the variance bounds
literature, which we review here; and second, the noise trader literature discussed later.
Shiller (1981) examines the variation in stock market prices, and finds that price fluctuations are
too large to be justified by the subsequent variation in dividend payments. Shiller finds that
"measures of stock price volatility over the past century appear to be far too high - five to thirteen
times too high - to be attributed to new information about future real dividends.... The failure of
the efficient markets model is thus so dramatic that it would seem impossible to attribute the
failure to such things as data errors, price index problems, or changes in tax laws." This extension
to the equity market of Shiller's (1979) earlier work on the bond market suffers from a similar
limitation to the anomalies outlined earlier. That is, his procedure is a joint test of market efficiency
and the validity of his model of the dividend process. This literature has attracted considerable
controversy (eg, Kleidon, 1986) as well as generating "second generation" variance bounds tests
such as those reviewed in Gilles and LeRoy (1991).

One of the difficulties of interpreting the variance bounds literature is the central assumption that
excess price volatility implies market inefficiency. This assertion would seem to be bound up with
the question of the survivorship of markets. The fact that the US market survived 1929, or the UK
survived 1974, may well imply excessive price volatility, on an ex post basis, over the sample
period. But as Brown, Goetzmann and Ross (1995) and Goetzmann and Jorion (1997) point out,
most stock markets fail to survive. For the latter, dividend volatility may have been infinite, and the
(pre-failure) variance of stock prices was therefore too low to be justified by subsequent dividend
behaviour.
Similar considerations may apply to Mehra and Prescott's (1985) equity premium puzzle. Mehra
and Prescott consider a simple model based on consumers' preferences and the economic process
generating consumption. Calibrating the key statistical characteristics of their assumptions, they
cannot reproduce the long-run equity premia generated by the market, given interest rates. They
show that, in their version of the model, with average risk-free interest rates in the range zero to
four percent, the mean premium would not exceed 0.35 percent. This compares with a US equity
risk premium over the period 1889-1978 of seven percent per year.
Apart from focusing on survivor-type arguments, in which Mehra and Prescott's model is modified
to include a small probability of catastrophic events (Rietz, 1988), there have also been other
approaches to modifying the underlying model, generalising the assumed preferences of consumers,
and revising the empirical analysis. The equity risk premium puzzle continues to attract research
interest.
4.3 Tests of overreaction and underreaction
Finally, we turn to some other tests which focus on return predictability. These tests fall into two
groups. First, and contrary to the early random walk literature, a number of studies have found
evidence of positive autocorrelation in security returns over weekly and monthly time horizons; and
second there is an indication of negative serial correlation in longer horizon returns over periods of
several years. Despite several researchers' claims of large arbitrage opportunities from exploiting
the autocorrelation in short-term returns, it is doubtful whether any abnormal returns remain after
accounting for the trading spreads, commissions and other costs involved in pursuing this kind of
short-term momentum strategy.
Longer term mispricing, however, could constitute a more serious violation of market efficiency.
The research on time series dependencies in returns which has had the largest impact, at least with
practitioners, is the study by DeBondt and Thaler (1985). DeBondt and Thaler look at returns
over longer horizons, finding that stocks which have underperformed the most over a three- to fiveyear period average the highest market-adjusted returns over the subsequent period, and vice versa.
They explain this pattern of return reversal as an overreaction in the market in which stock prices
diverge from fundamental value. Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) have observed a similar
phenomenon, arguing that such price behaviour is consistent with positive feedback trading.
Poterba and Summers (1988), together with Fama and French (1988a,b), discuss the linkage
between short-horizon positive serial correlation in stock returns, accompanied by negative
correlation over longer intervals. Poterba and Summers suggest that their findings are indicative of
a market inefficiency: "Noise trading, trading by investors whose demand for shares is determined

by factors other than their expected return, provides a plausible explanation for the transitory
components in stock prices."
Whether these longer horizon patterns of mean reversion really exist is a matter of controversy,
since subperiod results suggest that the patterns observed by DeBondt and Thaler (1985) and
Poterba and Summers (1988) are not all that robust over time. Time-varying expected returns
could also explain these patterns, without requiring us to assume that prices deviate from
fundamental value over extended intervals. Nevertheless, there is a growing literature that seeks to
explain observations such as these in terms of the sentiment of non-rational noise traders, an idea
introduced in the next section.
5. Market Microstructure
The classic paper on market microstructure is Jack Treynor's short article on The Only Game in
Town (written under the pseudonym of Bagehot, 1971). In this article, Treynor explains why
investors as a whole lose from trading, and why informed investors win. The key is to understand
the role of the dealer or market-maker, who loses when trading with informed investors, but aims
to more than recoup these losses through trading with uninformed investors.
Grossman and Stiglitz (1980) observed that in a world with costly information, it is impossible for
markets to be informationally efficient. They resolve this paradox by drawing on Treynor's idea of
assuming that the market also entertains transactions from uninformed noise traders. This focus on
the way that markets function has grown into an extensive literature on the microstructure of
financial markets. The Bagehot (1971) article provided an early insight into the way information is
incorporated into security prices through the activities of investors, and how market structure can
have an impact on the efficiency of the stock market.
The intuitive story told by Bagehot is formalised in the price formation model presented by Kyle
(1985). Kyle develops a model in which multiple orders of variable size are processed at a single
price. His model has three types of traders: a single informed trader, several competing market
makers, and uninformed noise traders who transact randomly. Noise traders camouflage the
activities of the informed trader, whose transactions are organised in such a way that his private
information is reflected gradually in market prices. The market makers compete and therefore
break even while informed transactors achieve a profit at the expense of noise traders.
Glosten and Milgrom (1985) showed that the very possibility of trading on information can be
sufficient to induce a positive bid-ask spread. Building on earlier work by Copeland and Galai
(1983), Glosten and Milgrom identify the element of the spread that is attributable to adverse
selection. Taken together with Demsetz's (1968) order processing costs, and Ho and Stoll's
(1981) measure of inventory control costs, this has provided a framework that this is now used
widely for analysing the bid-ask spread confronted by investors.
The concept of noise traders has had an impact on financial modelling that goes beyond the field of
market microstructure. We alluded to their role in the context of the DeBondt and Thaler (1985)
and Poterba and Summers (1988) studies of predictability in stock price behaviour, and they are
discussed further in Black's (1986) address. The basic ideas, developed in Bagehot (1971), are in
fact employed in many applications.

6. Conclusion
The efficient markets hypothesis is simple in principle, but remains elusive. Evolving from an
initially puzzling set of observations about the random character of security prices, it became the
dominant paradigm in finance during the 1970s. During its heyday, the efficient markets hypothesis
came to be supported by a growing body of empirical research demonstrating the difficulty of
beating the market, whether by analysing publicly available information or by employing
professional investment advisors.
Testing for market efficiency, however, is difficult. We have documented a number of studies that
indicate anomalous behaviour which appears, at first sight, to be inconsistent with market
efficiency. Ball (1978) points out that such evidence may equally well be interpreted as indicative
of shortcomings in our models of expected returns. Indeed, Fama (1997) takes issue with the view
that apparent anomalies require new behaviourally based theories of the stock market. Rather, they
are indicative of a need to continue the search for better models of asset pricing.
The last two decades have witnessed an onslaught against the efficient markets hypothesis. Yet as
Roll (1994) observes, it is remarkably hard to profit from even the most extreme violations of
market efficiency. Stock market anomalies are only too often chance events that do not persist into
the future. The importance of the efficient markets hypothesis is demonstrated by the fact that
apparently profitable investment opportunities are still referred to as "anomalies". The efficient
markets model continues to provide a framework that is widely used by financial economists.
