In our financialised era of global markets, this public lecture considered if practical wisdom (phronesis) rather than information is the ultimate commodity. To address this question, Professor Markellos offered an overview of the past 30 years of empirical finance through his research. This journey started from an obsession with models that describe rational macro-market price variations. It then recognised the importance of diversity, behaviour, psychology and cognitive limits under the rubric of an “Investment Consumer Funnel Model”. In this context, financial models were abstract paintings rather than simple photographs. The way forward took us from econometric models of prices to “Financial Reality Mining” in the online and physical world of text, emotions, images and sound. In this world, data brought academic disciplines and business functions much closer. If investors and markets continued to fail in accepting that they were in the business of responsible business, we might have to look for help from artificial intelligence in our quest for wisdom.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The inherently mysterious nature of the informal economy meant that its drivers, consequences and theoretical underpinnings remain ambiguous. Tax responsibility and the informal sector are often highlighted in the press as the root of the sovereign debt crisis in certain countries. Rating agencies also emphasized the protagonistic role of the informal sector by justifying recent downgrades of country credit ratings on the basis of pervasive tax evasion. Professor Markellos addressed these issues on the basis of the results from a recent study he published which investigated the controversial role of the informal sector in the economy of 64 countries by focusing for the first time on the impact it had on sovereign debt markets. Results confirmed the main hypothesis that the informal sector had significant adverse effects on credit ratings and lending costs. The results did not change with respect to the stage of economic development of a country and contradicted views about the possibility of significant economic benefits arising from the informal sector.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Innovation was about creating new knowledge (ideas, methods, technologies) or applying existing knowledge in new ways. There was great heterogeneity in innovation. Some were original \u201cbreak-through\u201d innovations with high value-add and a wide impact.\u00a0 Others were \u201crecombinant\u201d innovations that had the potential to disrupt existing fields.\u00a0 Most were \u201cincremental\u201d in nature with limited, short-term benefits. As the global economy became increasingly innovation-driven, many businesses would fail unless they are able to continuously discover new and better ways of doing things.\u00a0 What did all this mean for indigenous Hong Kong firms?\u00a0 How could they strengthen their innovation capability for enhanced international competitiveness? This lecture examined the opportunities and challenges of an innovation-driven global economy for Hong Kong and explored their business and policy implications.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
