A mechanism leading bubbles to crashes: the case of Japan’s land markets

چکیده
In this paper we investigate quantitatively statistical properties of ensemble of land prices in Japan in the period from 1981 to 2002, corresponding to the period of bubbles and crashes. We find that the tail of the distributions of ensembles of the land prices in the high price range is well described by a power law distribution, P (S > x) ∼ x−α, and furthermore that as the power-law exponents α approached to unity, the crashes of bubbles occurred.

A mechanism leading from bubbles to crashes: the case of Japan’s land market
In this study we investigate quantitatively statistical properties of an ensemble of land prices in Japan in the period from 1981 to 2002, corresponding to a period of bubbles and crashes. We found that the tail of the complementary cumulative distribution function of the ensemble of land prices in the high price range is well described by a power-law distribution, P (S > x) ∼ x−α, and furtherm...
متن کاملPrice Bubbles Spillover among Asset Markets: Evidence from Iran
T his paper investigates the existence of possible spillover effects among four main asset markets namely foreign exchange, stock, gold, and housing markets in Iran from 2002:03 to 2015:06. For this purpose, we have exploited Sigma-Point Kalman Filter (SPKF) to extract the bubble component of assets prices in the aforementioned Markets. Then, in order to analyze the price bubbles spi...
متن کاملAn Experimental Study of Bubble Formation in Asset Markets Using the Tâtonnement Trading Institution
Abstract We report the results of an experiment designed to study the role of institutional structure in the formation of bubbles and crashes in laboratory asset markets. In a setting employing double auctions and call markets as trading institutions, bubbles and crashes are a quite robust phenomenon. The only factor appearing to reduce bubbles is experience across markets. In this study, we em...
متن کاملImitation and contrarian behaviour: hyperbolic bubbles, crashes and chaos
Imitative and contrarian behaviours are the two typical opposite attitudes of investors in stock markets. We introduce a simple model to investigate their interplay in a stock market where agents can take only two states, bullish or bearish. Each bullish (bearish) agent polls m ‘friends’ and changes her opinion to bearish (bullish) if (i) at least mρhb (mρbh) among the m agents inspected are be...
متن کاملFutures 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...
