Biography

Sanford Grossman is recognized among Jewish contributors to Philosophy & Social Sciences — Theorist of information in financial markets; Clark Medal (1987)

How & why

Grossman, an American Jewish economist, transformed financial economics by analyzing how prices convey information; his work, including the Grossman-Stiglitz paradox, showed that markets cannot be perfectly informationally efficient because gathering information is costly. He received the John Bates Clark Medal in 1987 and later founded a quantitative investment firm.
