Bubble Necessity Theorem
Asset price bubbles are situations where asset prices exceed the fundamental values defined by the present value of dividends. This paper presents a conceptually new perspective: the necessity of bubbles. We establish the Bubble Necessity Theorem in a plausible general class of economic models: with faster long-run economic growth ($G$) than dividend growth ($G_d$) and counterfactual long-run autarky interest rate ($R$) below dividend growth, all equilibria are bubbly with non-negligible bubble sizes relative to the economy. This bubble necessity condition naturally arises in economies with sufficiently strong savings motives and multiple factors or sectors with uneven productivity growth.

Supplement Liquidity based modeling of asset price bubbles via random matching
This is a supplement to the paper "Liquidity based modeling of asset price bubbles via random matching". The supplement is organized as follows. First, we prove Theorem 3.13 in [1] which provides the existence of the dyn…
Bubble Economics
This article provides a self-contained overview of the theory of rational asset price bubbles. We cover topics from basic definitions, properties, and classical results to frontier research, with an emphasis on bubbles a…
Note on Bubbles Attached to Real Assets
A rational bubble is a situation in which the asset price exceeds its fundamental value defined by the present value of dividends in a rational equilibrium model. We discuss the recent development of the theory of ration…
Asset Price Bubbles in market models with proportional transaction costs
We study asset price bubbles in market models with proportional transaction costs $\lambda\in (0,1)$ and finite time horizon $T$ in the setting of [49]. By following [28], we define the fundamental value $F$ of a risky a…
PositionHousing Bubbles with Phase Transitions
We analyze how equilibrium housing prices are determined in the process of economic development within an overlapping generations model with perfect housing and rental markets. We characterize the rent growth rate in all…
