Rational Bubbles at the Spectral Edge: An Operator-Spectral Theory of Fragility, Identification and Finite-Sample Certification

When markets move more and more in lockstep, are they drifting towards the point where a price bubble becomes possible, and can that drift be measured before the crossing? This paper joins two long-separate ideas, that a rational bubble is a price outgrowing its dividends and that a crisis threshold can be read off the strength of a market's single dominant factor, onto one object recovered from the data: a summary of how asset returns move together, paired with a discount…
