A new stock-price bubble with stochastically deflating trajectories

Rotermann Benedikt, Wilfling Bernd


Abstract
We propose a new, rational stock-price bubble that is able to generate recurringly explosive and stochastically deflating trajectories. Our flexible bubble process entails stock-price volatility dynamics that are consistent with real-world data. To demonstrate this, we fit our bubble specification to NASDAQ data and analyze the volatility dynamics.
