MIT and the Origins of the Modern Theory of Asset Pricing
论证麻省理工学院之所以成为现代金融理论发源地,与其吸引萨缪尔森、以科学工程为导向的学术文化、竞争氛围以及经济系与商学院的紧密合作密切相关。
Abstract This article argues that it was no coincidence that one of the places in which the modern theory of finance was developed was the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Not only had it attracted Paul Samuelson, who had a long-standing interest in the problem, but its academic culture as a science-focused engineering school that fostered a competitive atmosphere and close relations between its economics department and business school was conducive to the development of such theories.
