Permanent Income Hypothesis Introduction The basic idea is that people’s income has a random element to it and also a known element to it and that people try to smooth the random part using saving and borrowing. Hence‚ we need to distinguish between permanent income and transitory income. Example: Suppose that you are working and receive an annual salary of twenty thousand dollar.

The Efficient Market Hypothesis(EMH) was first given by Samuelson(1965)‚Fama(1965) and Mandelbrot(1966).It was based on “Random walk Theory”‚ and stated that since the market price will be affected by new information in the market‚ all available information have been fully reflected on the security price. There are three assumptions for the Efficient Market Hypothesis: 1.All investors are independent‚ rational‚ well-informed and hope for the highest profit; 2.All information are free and randomly

The Efficient Markets Hypothesis The theory of Efficient Markets Hypothesis (EMH) asserts that (1) stocks are always in equilibrium and (2) it is impossible for an investor to “beat the market” and consistently earn a higher rate of return than is justified by the stock’s risk. Those who believe in the EMH note that there are 100‚000 or so fulltime‚ highly trained‚ professional analysts and traders operating in the market‚ while there are fewer than 3‚000 major stocks.

The theory basically says that individuals plan their consumption and savings behaviour over the long term with a view of allocating incomes in the best possible way over their entire lifetimes. 2. This implies different marginal propensities to consume out of permanent income‚ transitory income (temporary) and wealth. 3. The basic idea is that individuals will spend the different incomes differently with a view

The five-step processes for hypothesis testing are the following. Step1. Specify the null hypothesis H0 and alternative hypothesis H1. The null hypothesis is the hypothesis that the researcher formulates and proceeds to test. If the null hypothesis is rejected after the test‚ the hypothesis to be accepted is called the alternative hypothesis. For example if the researcher wants to compare the average value generated by two different procedures the null hypothesis to be tested is [pic] and
