Bubbles , Can We Spot Them ? Crashes , Can We Predict Them ?

چکیده
Johansen and Sornette proposes that the crash has fundamentally an endogenous origin and exogenous shocks only serve as triggering factors. This endogenous force is shown in price as power law log-periodicity (PLLP) signature prior to a crash. We estimate the highly nonlinear model developed by them using a hybrid approach which combines scatter search, genetic adaptor and tabu search. The model is applied to two property data sets (Hong Kong Office Price Index and Seoul Hosing Price Index) and one property related stock price (Korea General Construction Stock Price Index). The fitting of the original model to these data sets was unsuccessful, due to the lack of the power law. We hence fit the data using a modified model, and the results are encouraging when crash-date prediction is the aim.

Futures Markets and Bubble Formation in Experimental Asset Markets
We construct asset markets of the type studied in Smith et al. (1988), in which price bubbles and crashes are widely observed. In addition to a spot market, there are futures markets in operation, one maturing in each period of the life of the asset. We find that when futures markets are present, bubbles do not occur in the spot markets. The futures markets seem to reduce the speculation and th...
متن کاملTranching, CDS, and Asset Prices: How Financial Innovation Can Cause Bubbles and Crashes
In this paper, we propose the possibility that the mortgage boom and bust crisis of 2007–2009 might have been caused by financial innovation. We suggest that the astounding rise in subprime and Alt A leverage from 2000 to 2006, together with the remarkable growth in securitization and tranching throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, raised the prices of the underlying assets such as houses and m...
متن کاملSpeculative Bubbles and Crashes in Stock Markets: An Interacting-Agent Model of Speculative Activity
In this paper we present an interacting-agent model of speculative activity explaining bubbles and crashes in stock markets. We describe stock markets through an infinite-range Ising model to formulate the tendency of traders getting influenced by the investment attitude of other traders. Bubbles and crashes are understood and described qualitatively and quantitatively in terms of the classical...
متن کاملMarket Bubbles and Crashes as an Expression of Tension between Social and Individual Rationality: Experiments
We investigate the claim that social rationality explains the emergence of one type of bubble in competitive asset markets that we shall refer to as “credit market bubble,” and that individual rationality explains the subsequent crash. The bubble is defined as a situation where (i) the debt is priced above its intrinsic value and (ii) the debt is rolled over even though each creditor should cas...
متن کاملStock Market Bubbles and Business Cycles: A DSGE Model for the Iranian Economy
T his paper investigates the movement between stock market bubbles and fluctuations in aggregate variables within a DSGE model for the Iranian economy. We apply a new Keynesian monetary framework with nominal rigidity in wages and prices based on the study by Ikeda (2013), which is developed with appropriate framework for the Iranian economy. We consider central bank behavior differe...
