Asset price bubbles

Kevin Lansing

FRBSF Economic Letter, 2007, issue oct26

Abstract: Economists use the term \\"bubble\\" to describe an asset price that has risen above the level justified by economic fundamentals, as measured by the discounted stream of expected future cash flows that will accrue to the owner of the asset. The dramatic rise in U.S. stock prices during the late 1990s, followed similarly by U.S. house prices during the early 2000s, are episodes that have both been described as \\"bubbles.\\" This Economic Letter describes some research that attempts to account for the behavior of asset price bubbles.
