The efficient market hypothesis states that security prices fully reflect all the information in the market. Theoretical and empirical results, however, cast doubt on the universality of this principle. Beginning with the seminal work by Plott and Sunder (1982,1988), experimental markets played an important role in testing and defining the boundaries of efficient markets. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers to share cutting edge research on efficient markets and map the challenges and research directions ahead. Topics include the comparative efficiency of different market mechanisms, trader’s psychology and its effect on market efficiency, manipulation in markets, and policy design.
