Informational overshooting, booms, and crashes
Article Abstract:
Stock market booms and crashes can be rationally explained by a phenomenon called informational overshooting, which states that stock prices will overshoot if market fundamentals change for an unknown period of time. Empirical evidence also shows that the stock market experiences a boom and a crash when an economy expands to an undetermined size. Informational shooting can take place when stock dividends are decreasing, although such a scenario is less likely. Aside from informational overshooting, irrational speculation can also result in stock market booms and crashes.
