Understanding the formation of bubbles and the contagion mechanisms
afflicting financial markets is a must as extreme volatility events
leave no market untouched. Debt, equity, real estate,
commodities... Shanghai, NY, or London: The severe fluctuations,
explained to a large extent by contagion and the fear of new
bubbles imploding, justify the newly awaken interest in the
contagion and bubble dynamics as yet again the world brazes for a
new global economic upheaval. Bubbles and Contagion in Financial
Markets explores concepts, intuition, theory, and models.
Fundamental valuation, share price development in the presence of
asymmetric information, the speculative behavior of noise traders
and chartists, herding and the feedback and learning mechanisms
that surge within the markets are key aspects of these dynamics.
Bubbles and contagion are a vast world and fascinating phenomena
that escape a narrow exploration of financial markets. Hence this
work looks beyond into macroeconomics, monetary policy, risk
aggregation, psychology, incentive structures and many more
subjects which are in part co-responsible for these events.
Responding to the ever more pressing need to disentangle the
dynamics by which financial local events are transmitted across the
globe, this volume presents an exhaustive and integrative outlook
to the subject of bubbles and contagion in financial markets. The
key objective of this volume is to give the reader a comprehensive
understanding of all aspects that can potentially create the
conditions for the formation and bursting of bubbles, and the
aftermath of such events: the contagion of macro-economic
processes. Achieving a better understanding of the formation of
bubbles and the impact of contagion will no doubt determine the
stability of future economies - let these two volumes be the
starting point for a rational approach to a seemingly irrational
phenomena.
In this book, the relationship between risk, return and the cost of
capital is contextualized by relating it to the needs of investors
and borrowers, the historical evidence, and theories of choice and
behavior. The text spans financial theory, its empirical tests and
applications to real-world financial problems while keeping an
entertaining easy-to-read style.
