The joint hypothesis problem is the problem that testing for market efficiency is difficult, or even impossible. Any attempts to test for market (in)efficiency must involve asset pricing models so that there are expected returns to compare to real returns. It is not possible to measure 'abnormal' returns without expected returns predicted by ...
In Fama's influential 1970 review paper, he categorized empirical tests of efficiency into "weak-form", "semi-strong-form", and "strong-form" tests. [2] These categories of tests refer to the information set used in the statement "prices reflect all available information." Weak-form tests study the information contained in historical prices.
Fama identified three levels of market efficiency: 1. Weak-form efficiency. Prices of the securities instantly and fully reflect all information of the past prices. This means future price movements cannot be predicted by using past prices, i.e past data on stock prices is of no use in predicting future stock price changes. 2. Semi-strong ...

A soft market test is a procurement exercise designed to test commercial markets' capabilities of meeting a set of requirements which would include enough interested suppliers to maintain competitive pressures.

Market definition is an important issue for regulators facing changes in market structure, which needs to be determined. [1]
