This paper provides an invariance theorem that facilitates testing for the existence of an asset price bubble in a market where the price evolves as a Markov diffusion process. The test involves only the properties of the price process' quadratic variation under the statistical probability. It...

We provide a new liquidity based model for financial asset price bubbles that explains bubble formation and bubble bursting. The martingale approach (Cox and Hobson (2005), Jarrow et al. (2007)) to modeling price bubbles assumes that the asset's market price process is exogenous and the...
