Bubbles. Consider the setup of the previous problem without the assumption that
![]()
(a) Deterministic bubbles. Suppose that Pt equals the expression derived in part (b) of Problem 8.8 plus (1 + r) t b, b > 0.
(i) Is consumers’ first-order condition derived in part (a) of Problem 8.8 still satisfied
(ii) Can b be negative?
(b) Bursting bubbles. (Blanchard, 1979.) Suppose that Pt equals the expression derived in part (b) of Problem 8.8 plus qt, where qt equals (1 + r )qt −1/α with probability α and equals 0 with probability 1 − α.
(i) Is consumers’ first-order condition derived in part (a) of Problem 8.8 still satisfied?
(ii) If there is a bubble at time t (that is, if qt > 0), what is the probability that the bubble has burst by time t + s (that is, that qt +s = 0)? What is the limit of this probability as s approaches infinity?
c) Intrinsic bubbles. (Froot and Obstfeld, 1991.) Suppose that dividends follow a random walk: Dt = Dt −1 + et, where e is white noise.
(i) In the absence of bubbles, what is the price of the stock in period t ?
(ii) Suppose that Pt equals the expression derived in (i) plus bt, where bt = (1+r )bt −1+cet, c > 0. Is consumers’ first-order condition derived in part (a) of Problem 8.8 still satisfied? In what sense do stock prices overreact to changes in dividends?
