Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relevance and evolution of adaptive markets hypothesis (AMH) that has gained traction in the recent years, as it provides a dynamic perspective to the concept of informational efficiency.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper discusses several issues related to the concept of informationally efficient markets that have indicated efficient market hypothesis to be an incomplete portrayal of stock market behavior.

Findings

The authors find that a strict and perpetual adherence to informational efficiency is highly unlikely, and AMH provides a much more plausible description of the behavior of stock markets.

Originality/value

The authors provide a description of studies that examine the testable implications of AMH.
