Fearless versus Fearful Speculative Financial Bubbles
Using a recently introduced rational expectation model of bubbles, based on the interplay between stochasticity and positive feedbacks of prices on returns and volatility, we develop a new methodology to test how this model classifies 9 time series that have been previously considered as bubbles ending in crashes. The model predicts the existence of two anomalous behaviors occurring simultaneou...
متن کاملSpeculative Bubbles and Financial Crisis
Why are asset prices so much more volatile and so often detached from their fundamental values? Why does the bursting of nancial bubbles depress the real economy? This paper addresses these questions by constructing an in nite-horizon heterogeneous agent general equilibrium model with speculative bubbles. We characterize conditions under which storable goods, regardless of their intrinsic valu...
متن کاملA Nonlinear Super-Exponential Rational Model of Speculative Financial Bubbles
Keeping a basic tenet of economic theory, rational expectations, we model the nonlinear positive feedback between agents in the stock market as an interplay between nonlinearity and multiplicative noise. The derived hyperbolic stochastic finite-time singularity formula transforms a Gaussian white noise into a rich time series possessing all the stylized facts of empirical prices, as well as acc...
متن کاملOverconfidence and Speculative Bubbles∗
Motivated by the behavior of asset prices, trading volume and price volatility during historical episodes of asset price bubbles, we present a continuous time equilibrium model where overconfidence generates disagreements among agents regarding asset fundamentals. With short-sale constraints, an asset owner has an option to sell the asset to other overconfident agents when they have more optimi...
متن کاملAsset Float and Speculative Bubbles
We model the relationship between asset float (tradeable shares) and speculative bubbles. Investors with heterogeneous beliefs and short-sales constraints trade a stock with limited float because of insider lockups. A bubble arises as price overweighs optimists’ beliefs and investors anticipate the option to resell to those with even higher valuations. The bubble’s size depends on float as inve...
