Product Description

Book Description

   市場の仕組みについての私たちの理解を覆す、フラクタル幾何学創始者による画期的な新理論。

   今世紀最大の影響力を持つ数学者のひとり、ブノワ・B・マンデルブローは、誰もが知っているのにユークリッド以下の幾何学者らが決して理解しなかった事実――「雲は丸くないし、山は円錐ではないし、海岸線は滑らかではない」――を数学的に説明したことで世界的に知られている。私たちはいま、この有名なフレーズにもうひとつ新たな例を加えることができる。「市場はブローカーが言うほど安全な賭けではない」。マンデルブローは初めて一般読者向けに書いた本書(リチャード・L・ハドソンとの共著)の中で、市場の動きに関する支配的な考え方――世界中のすべてのMBA取得者や投資家がいまだに勉強している、100年前に立てられた1組の数学的仮説――がなぜ役に立たないかを教えてくれる。

   名著『The Fractal Geometry of Nature』(邦題『フラクタル幾何学』)で自然界について行ったように、マンデルブローは本書でもフラクタル幾何学を用いて、市場の動きを説明する新しくより正確な方法を提示している。IBM株価やドル-ユーロ相場の複雑な変動もいまやシンプルな公式に還元され、従来よりはるかに優れたリスクモデルを導くことができるのだ。マンデルブローはフラクタル・ツールを使って金融市場の真の仕組みを解明するとともに、これまで専門家たちが決して説明しなかった、その気まぐれで危険な(そして不思議に美しい)性質も明らかにする。金融の新しい科学の礎となる貴重な1冊。 --This text refers to the ハードカバー edition.



内容説明

Benoit Mandelbrot, father of fractal geometry, revolutionized our understanding of the models of modern financial theory. This new edition includes material on the current market crisis, calling for an end to the tunnel vision of our bankers whose over-confidence in their understanding of markets ended in catastrophe.This international bestseller, which foreshadowed a market crash, explains why it could happen again if we don't act now. Fractal geometry is the mathematics of roughness: how to reduce the outline of a jagged leaf or static in a computer connection to a few simple mathematical properties. With his fractal tools, Mandelbrot has got to the bottom of how financial markets really work. He finds they have a shifting sense of time and wild behavior that makes them volatile, dangerous - and beautiful. In his models, the complex gyrations of the FTSE 100 and exchange rates can be reduced to straightforward formulae that yield a much more accurate description of the risks involved.

4.0 out of 5 stars ランダムウォーク仮説をひっくり返す。, 2004/8/17
By h.yamagata (世界各地) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
ベノワ「フラクタル」マンデルブロが、自分が構築に大きく寄与した効率的市場仮説を自らひっくり返したに等しい本。いや、ひっくり返してはいないんだけれど、そのいまの形式の前提になっている、ランダムウォーク仮説をひっくり返す。株価の変動はランダムウォークではなく、フラクタルに従うのだ、という。そしてこれにより変動はランダムウォークから得られるものより大きくなる。というか、平均値に近い部分が増える代わりに、裾野が広がる。だからこれまで思われていたよりも市場は安定しているけれど、でもこれまで思われていたより派手にふれることがある、という話。ただ、なぜそうなるか、という理屈は説明できていない。それが弱点かな。とはいえランダムウォークだって、なぜそうなるかは特に明快な理論もないわけだし。これが発展すれば、いまのファイナンス理論はかなり修正を余儀なくされるかも。

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book on Risk in Financial Markets by Superstar Mathematician, 2008/4/2
By Value Investor (港区六本木) - See all my reviews
A book on risk in financial markets, written by superstar mathematician and inventor of fractal geometry Benoit Mandelbrot. If you are curious about how relevant scaling, power laws, fractality, fat tails, long-term dependence, concentration, and discontinuity are to financial markets, this is the book to read. The central idea on the book is that financial markets are far riskier than mainstream finance theory assumes. Recent turmoil in financial markets is a timely vindication of Mandelbrot's view of financial markets.
