Abstract

Este artículo introduce el concepto de adaptación para comprender la eficiencia en los mercados financieros. Algunos antecedentes teóricos muestran la necesidad y pertinencia del análisis adaptativo como respuesta al paradigma tradicional enfocado en los planteamientos de la hipótesis de los mercados eficientes (EMH, por su sigla en inglés). En particular se exponen dos críticas a la EMH: una desde la racionalidad del agente, que muestra la imposibilidad de la existencia de mercados eficientes a escala informacional, y otra desde la economía conductual, enfocada en la heterogeneidad de los agentes y la racionalidad limitada de aquellos. Finalmente, se presenta la hipótesis de los mercados adaptativos como alternativa en la comprensión del comporta-miento de los agentes en el mercado.
