詐欺か金融か

Paul Krugman: The Madoff economy

上の記事でクルーグさんが言っているのは、マドフだけじゃなくて、今までの金融産業のしてきた事って、結果は詐欺と同じなんじゃないのかということ。

クルーグマンさんだけでなく、これを思っている人は沢山いるはず。

'PONZI SCHEME' AT CITI

12月４日のニューヨークポストの記事だけど

この記事で…CITIのルービンさんが訴えられているという記事。

これで有罪なんてなったら、金融産業みんな有罪かもね。

それはともかく、

ここのコメント欄に注目すべき事が…

Please bear with me. In my last comment I mentioned about PhD physicists and mathematicians working for banks. But they were not working as tellers in the banks. These people were hired to do complicated calculations (loop level) borrowed from quantum field theory and statistical mechanics. They are capable to take any number(s) as an input and produce any output as desired. Hence the banks hired at a much higher pay these people than they could earn in Universities or research institutes.

I know it as I got my PhD in physics from an American University and many of my contemporaries went to work at JP Morgan, Fannie May, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bnak etc.

Their bosses told them to inflate the value of anything to any number to any number and these people did that.

No ordinary deivatives traders or brockers can ever understand any formula(e) to calculate the value of anything. These are too compilcated but intentinally.

But there are some conservation laws for energy, momentum etc in physics. Where every (loop level) calculation has to abide by them. In finance and banking there is no such conserved quantity as credit can be created from thin air and destroyed also to that. Hence the fiasco.

コメントなので、本当なのかどうかあれだけど、なんとなく、前にも他の事で金融にからむ数式の事で聞いた事があって、この辺はいやなかんじがしてたのです。

物理と金融…

イギリスの大学なんかでは、物理と金融の大学のコースなんかもできてきてるようです。
