Chapter 3 in Toward a Metatheory of Economic Bubbles: Socio-Political and Cultural Perspectives, 2014, pp 22-31 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract In this chapter we set the temporal and contextual boundaries of our metatheory, hence marking the perimeter of generalizability. We identify key constructs—uncertainty, velocity over time, and negotiated space—that cut across all bubble and asset types, and discuss their limiting values on theory generalizability. Uncertainty is the fallow soil in which the seeds of an asset bubble are sown. The velocity of discourse about an asset takes on a life of its own: there is rapid transformation of the stark uncertainty about the asset value into a seemingly graspable, even measurable, level of risk associated with the asset. We further view a negotiated space as a discursive space in which a “negotiated mix” of hyped promotion and hyped price are readily available but the material elements such as the product (technology) and its physical accessibility are still largely “imagined.” Keywords: hype process; negotiated mix; negotiated space; risk; uncertainty; velocity over time (search for similar items in EconPapers) There are no downloads for this item, see the EconPapers FAQ for hints about obtaining it.
