英文摘要:
  Since the 1960s, the question whether markets are efficient or not is controversially discussed. One reason for the difficulty to overcome the controversy is the lack of a universal, but also precise, quantitative definition of efficiency that is able to graduate between different states of efficiency. The main purpose of this article is to fill this gap by developing a measure for the efficiency of markets that fulfill all the stated requirements. It is shown that the new definition of efficiency, based on informational-entropy, is equivalent to the two most used definitions of efficiency from Fama and Jensen. The new measure therefore enables steps to settle the dispute over the state of efficiency in markets. Moreover, it is shown that inefficiency in a market can either arise from the possibility to use information to predict an event with higher than chance level, or can emerge from wrong pricing/ quotes that do not reflect the right probabilities of possible events. Finally, the calculation of efficiency is demonstrated on a simple game (of coin tossing), to show how one could exactly quantify the efficiency in any market-like system, if all probabilities are known.

中文摘要:
自20世纪60年代以来,市场是否有效的问题一直备受争议。难以克服争议的一个原因是,缺乏一个通用的、但又精确的、定量的效率定义,该定义能够在不同的效率状态之间进行分级。本文的主要目的是通过制定满足所有规定要求的市场效率衡量标准来填补这一空白。结果表明,基于信息熵的效率新定义与Fama和Jensen两个最常用的效率定义是等价的。因此,新措施可以采取措施解决市场效率状况的争议。此外,研究表明,市场中的低效率可能源于使用信息预测高于机会水平的事件的可能性,也可能源于错误的定价/报价,这些定价/报价不能反映可能事件的正确概率。最后,在一个简单的游戏(抛硬币)上演示了效率的计算,以说明如果所有概率都已知,如何准确量化任何类似市场的系统中的效率。
