In this highly original piece of work, Steven D. Gjerstad and Nobel Laureate Vernon L. Smith analyze the role of housing and its associated mortgage financing as a key element of economic cycles. The authors combine data from both laboratory and real markets to provide insight into the bubble propensity of real-world economic actors and use novel historical analysis on the Great Recession, the Great Depression, and all of the post-World War II recessions to establish the critical roles of ...

Written by leading multiphase flow and CFD experts, this book enables engineers and researchers to understand the use of PBM and CFD frameworks. Population balance approaches can now be used in conjunction with CFD, effectively driving more efficient and effective multiphase flow processes. Engineers familiar with standard CFD software, including ANSYS-CFX and ANSYS–Fluent, will be able to use the tools and approaches presented in this book in the effective research, modeling and control o...

This book focuses on extending the models and theories (from a mathematical/statistical point of view) which were introduced in the first volume to a more technical level. Where volume I provided an introduction to the mathematics of bubbles and contagion, volume II digs far more deeply and widely into the modeling aspects.

The Energy Bubble Model is a practical framework designed to help children develop awareness of body sensations, emotional energy, and self-regulation through visual supports, movement-based learning, and co-regulation strategies.Created for educators, therapists, caregivers, and families, this comprehensive manual includes structured lessons, worksheets, visual tools, and interactive activities that support emotional awareness, sensory processing, and social-emoti...

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.AI stocks are soaring—but for how long before the music stops? Every investor is asking the same question: Is this innovation-fueled bull run the dawn of a new technological era—or the makings of the next dot-com crash?In ***Is the AI Bubble About to Burst?***, experienced analysts Carl Vincent Sutton and Marc Stanford deliver a powerful, data-driven exploration of today’s overheated AI markets. From chipmakers...

This book introduces readers to a new approach to identifying stock market bubbles by using the illiquidity premium, a parameter derived by employing conic finance theory. Further, it shows how to develop the closed form formulas of the bid and ask prices of European options by using Black-Scholes and Kou models. By using the derived formulas and sliding windows technique, the book explains how to numerically calculate illiquidity premiums. The methods introduced here will enable readers i...

This paper has two aims. The first is to introduce to a wider audience the recently proposed Bubble Model: a new method to reconstruct ancient settlement territories. After a preliminary discussion of similar methods that have been used in archaeology, such as Voronoi diagrams (Thiessen polygons), Multiplicatively Weighted Voronoi diagrams and XTENT, the Bubble Model is defined and its characteristics are compared. Strengths and weaknesses are identified and discussed. The main advantages ...
