Abstract

En el presente trabajo se estudia la contrastación de la eficiencia demercados bursátiles en los últimos quince anos, para ello se acude a la revisión de artículos de la base de datos ScienceDirect caracterizando los resultados de forma porcentual. Se encuentra que el 60 % de los trabajos rechaza la eficiencia del mercado, el 35 % presenta evidencia de eficiencia, y el 5 % restante verifica una mejora progresiva de la eficiencia debida a reformas económicas, mayor velocidad en el flujo de información y el lanzamiento de nuevos productos financieros.
