Sargent, winner of the Nobel Prize for Economics "This fascinating treatise is highly recommended. Readers will come away with a richer understanding of how some intriguing behavior in financial markets can be modeled in insightful ways." - Lars Peter Hansen, University of Chicago, winner of the Nobel Prize for Economics José A. Scheinkman offers new insight into the mystery of bubbles. Noting some general characteristics of bubbles -- such as the rise in trading volume and the coincidence between increases in supply and bubble implosions -- Scheinkman offers a model, based on differences in beliefs among investors, that explains these observations. Other top economists also offer their own thoughts on the issue: Sanford J. Grossman and Patrick Bolton expand on Scheinkman's discussion by looking at factors that contribute to bubbles-such as excessive leverage, overconfidence, mania, and panic in speculative markets-and Kenneth J. Arrow and Joseph E. Stiglitz contextualize Scheinkman's findings. The Kenneth J.
