متن کاملSentiment Shock and Stock Price Bubbles in a Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium Model Framework: The Case of Iran
In this study, a model of Bayesian Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) from Real Business Cycles (RBC) approach with the aim of identifying the factors shaping price bubbles of Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) was specified. The above-mentioned model was conducted in two scenarios. In the first scenario, the baseline model with sentiment shock was examined. In this model, stock price bubbl...
متن کاملAsset price volatility in a nonconvex general equilibrium model
Asset prices and returns are known to vary signi®cantly more than output or aggregate consumption growth, and an order of magnitude in excess of what is justi®ed by innovations to fundamentals. We study excess price volatility in a lifecycle economy with two assets (claims on capital and a public debt bubble), heterogeneous agents, and increasing returns to ®nancial intermediation. We show that...
