We develop a parsimonious model of bubbles based on the assumption of imprecisely known market depth. In a speculative bubble, bankers (traders) drive the price above its fundamental value in a dynamic way, driven by rational expectations about future price developments. At a previously unknown...

An exponentially increasing trend of players’ registration price has taken place recently, and we test the hypothesis that this may be a speculative bubble, using a structural break test on a dataset of international soccer players registration prices, from 2007 to 2019. Our statistical...
