Abstract

Efficient market is one where the market price is an unbiased estimate of the true value of the investment. All information is reflected in market prices, what imply that investors will be unable to consistently beat the market. There is ample evidence againsts the efficient market theory, among them the temporal anomalies and the speculative bubbles. The oral exposition and the text discussion are the most common methods used to teach speculative bubbles. In this article, we propose to use board games, in particular, Tullipmania 1637, as teaching material to explain why speculative bubbles occur. Our results show that Tullipmania 1637 has increased student motivation significatively.
