Economic Behavior

Description

The analysis developed in this book follows
a few simple but unconventional ideas. Investors are assumed to exhibit the same
basic behavior during a speculative episode whether they trade stocks, real estate,
or postage stamps. This idea is crucial for setting up a comparative approach. The
main objective of this book is to show that behind the bewildering diversity of historical episodes it is possible to find hidden regularities, thus preparing the way for a unified theory of speculation. A theoretical framework is presented in the final chapters, which show how some basic concepts of dynamical system theory, such
as the notions of impulse response, reaction times, and frequency analysis, play an instrumental role in describing and predicting various forms of speculative behavior.
