AbstractThe “rational bubble” stance espoused in the target article confounds cultural symbolic achievements with individual cognitive competences. With no explicit role for learning, the core rationale for claiming a major functional discontinuity between humans and other species rests on a hybrid formal model LISA (Learning and Inference with Schemas and Analogies) now overtaken by new models of cognitive growth and new empirical studies within an embodied systems stance.

Blockchain is the vehicle on which cryptocurrencies run, and it can’t be regulated by any legal entity during its operation.The huge growth in various cryptocurrency segments in 10 years has created the controversy of an inevitable bubble. A bubble can be generated either by queer herd behaviour or logical secular movement. Traces of evident bubbles have been a certainty and they take the perceived valuation of crypto to figures far away from its true value. This sudden diversion can be lethal due to the illogical, irrational propensity of regular market participants. This study observes ten cryptos under surveillance from September 2014 to August 2019. The selected ten (Monero, Bitcoin, XRP Ripple, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Monacoin, Ethereum, Bytecoin, Digibite, Potcoin) cryptocurrencies were studied for the last five years using Right Tailed ADF Test. Prominent traces of the rational bubble in all the underlying cryptocurrencies were found and have been considered for the study.

We analyze the relationships between bubbles, capital flows, and economic activities in a rational bubble model with two large open economies. We establish a reinforcing relationship between global imbalances and bubbles. Capital flows from South to North facilitate the emergence and the size of bubbles in the North. Bubbles in the north in turn facilitate South-to-North capital flows. The model can simultaneously explain several stylized features of recent bubble episodes. (JEL E32, E44, F44, G01, G14, O16)

The possibility that movements in prices could be due to the self-fulfilling prophecies of market participants has long intrigued observers of free markets. This paper surveys the current state of the empirically-oriented literature concerning rational dynamic indeterminacies, by which we mean a situation of self-fulfilling prophecy within a rational expectations model. Empirical work in this area concentrates primarily on indeterminacies in price levels, exchange rates, and equity prices. We first examine a particular type of explosive indeterminacy, usually called a rational bubble, in an example of the market for equities. Then, we consider empirical work relating to price-level and exchange-rate indeterminacies and empirical studies of indeterminacies in stock prices. Finally, we take up some interpretive issues.

It has been a hot topic concerning about whether price bubbles exist in the housing market in several cities in China or otherwise. However, much of the debate lacks convincing evidence. This paper discusses the two factors which may lead the housing price to deviate from its fundamental value: rational bubble and economic irrationality. Also, the paper considers the price‐rent ratio as a valid indicator in reflecting the rationality of the housing price. Based on an international comparative study and the Income Capitalization Method, this paper will show that the proper interval of the price‐rent ratio in China's housing market should be around 150–200. At the end of this paper, an empirical study will be presented after an alternative measurement method for China's housing market is proposed. It will illustrate that housing prices in Shanghai and Hangzhou are overvalued while that in Beijing and Guangzhou are comparatively closer to the proper interval.

China’s housing prices have been growing nearly twice as fast as national income over the past decade, despite a high vacancy rate and a high rate of return to capital. This paper interprets China’s housing boom as a rational bubble emerging naturally from its economic transition. The bubble arises because high capital returns driven by resource reallocation are not sustainable in the long run. Rational expectations of a strong future demand for alternative stores of value can thus induce currently productive agents to speculate in the housing market. Our model can quantitatively account for China’s paradoxical housing boom. (JEL O16, O18, P24, P25, R21, R31)
