Welcome to the Market Mind Hypothesis Symposium News Section. Here you will find short updates and information about the market mind hypothesis in the news. If you would like to see articles from previous events, please head to our events section.
What is the market mind hypothesis?
The Market Mind Hypothesis seeks to break the boundaries of mechanical economics offering new scope on the behaviours of financial markets. Utilising the wealth of knowledge offered in a multi-disciplinary approach, the hypothesis gives breath and metaphorical consciousness to the market; hence we have ‘The Market Mind’.
Giving life to the mechanisms we rely on in life, particularly in Finance, is not a new idea but its implementation and development is. Adam Smith, among others often drew upon the deep connection between cognitive science and the field of economics. Today, Patrick Schotanus and his colleagues once again seek to develop and expand on these ideas.
It is therefore fitting that our debut symposium took place at Adam Smith’s last and only remaining home; Panmure House, Edinburgh. Going forward, Edinburgh will be the heart of this research project, which we believe will one day be core to economic theory. The inaugural symposium took place on the 23rd and 24th of May, 2022. The event saw industry professionals from a range of disciplines, not often found in the same room, coming together to discuss one of todays most ground-breaking and promising research projects.
Join us on our innovative journey to re-define the market, seeking ways in which we can tame the beast; vying for increasingly more efficient and sustainable practices within the financial industry.
