Eugene Fama

Eugene Fama appears in So are we in an AI bubble? Here are clues to look for. as the Nobel Prize-winning economist associated with the view that markets are mostly efficient. The episode uses him as the hard test for bubble claims: if markets work, researchers should not be able to reliably identify when a bubble will turn before it turns.

The source says Robin Greenwood’s “Bubbles for Fama” research was partly motivated by that challenge. Fama is portrayed as interested in the data while interpreting it differently, leaving a truce rather than a decisive refutation of Market Efficiency.
