Praise for Paving Wall Street
"This is a remarkable book that weaves the deep scientific roots of modern finance and modern financial institutions with humorous perspective and considerable wisdom. Few understand the pervasive and complex economic principles that govern our world of finance. Few are aware of the academic and scientific origins of financial practices and market instruments that are commonplace today. Ross Miller uses his experience and talents acquired as an experimental economist to help us understand a world that is contradictory, potentially dangerous, and paradoxical. He entertains us while doing it." ––Charles R. Plott, Edward S. Harkness Professor of Economics and Political Science, California Institute of Technology
"Decisions by millions of individuals produce the fierce tides and churning seas of Wall Street. Miller wields his microscope in the laboratory of experimental economics to provide a sprightly and insightful analysis of investor behavior." ––Richard Zeckhauser, Frank P. Ramsey Professor of Political Economy, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University
"Dramatic new ways for buying and selling–spectrum auctions, e–commerce, derivatives–are the economics profession′s contribution to the Information Revolution. This book explains how many of these innovations began with simple experiments at Caltech. The style is a refreshing combination–dramatic and fun to read, but also historically and scientifically accurate. So, I can send one to my Dad, a salesman, and another to my girlfriend, a patent attorney." ––Colin Camerer, Rea and Lela Axline Professor of Business Economics, California Institute of Technology
"Paving Wall Street is a first–rate insight into bubbles and the experimental research performed on the topic by leading academicians such as Vernon Smith." ––David Dreman, Chairman, Dreman Value Management
"Academic ideas have revolutionized how Wall Street operates. Entirely new markets have been created. This revolution continues today, accelerated by the rise of increasingly automated markets. Ross Miller has produced a book that makes the leading–edge financial and economic thinking that shapes these new markets accessible to practitioners and professionals. With no equations and a deft touch, this is an excellent guide to the future of greater Wall Street." ––David J. Leinweber, PhD, Economics/Social Sciences, California Institute of Technology

Review:
"The best account of all of the new developments so far has just appeared. ′′Paving Wall Street: Experimental Economics & the Quest for the Perfect Market,′′ by Ross M. Miller, moves far beyond Peter Bernstein′s two classic volumes, ′′Capital Ideas′′ and ′′Against the Odds.′′
For many years the author headed General Electric′s Quantitative Finance Group. He weaves together developments in finance, game theory, and experimental economics to give a clear and up–to–date picture of rocket science as it is applied at the highest levels on Wall Street." (The Boston Globe)

This title enlightens readers on the cutting edge field of experimental economics. The topic of experimental economics, which deals with the internal workings of the market and its participants, is discussed in-depth so that readers may better understand the ideas behind this process. Readers should gain an understanding of how a new breed of applied researchers in the field of experimental economics are learning how to avoid the catastrophes of broken markets and how to design markets that more efficiently connect buyers and sellers at mutually agreeable prices.
