Financial economics: objects and methods of science
概述了主流金融理论对金融市场和投资本质的假设,指出其解释问题源于对金融现实的假设及自然科学式的研究方法,并提出另一种观点:金融市场是社会建构的,通过可错和可传递的认知与理论被认识。
This paper outlines the assumptions on the nature of financial markets and investments that condition the mainstream theory of finance. Explanatory problems of financial economics are associated with the assumptions on financial reality and the respective method of inquiry, one routed in the practices of (some branches of) natural sciences. In an alternative conception of finance, financial markets are socially structured and are knowable to investors and theorists through fallible and transitive perceptions and theories.
