We propose a dynamic heterogeneous agents model which generates testable hypotheses about the formation, timing and bursting of asset price bubbles in the presence of short-sale constraints, given a calibration that is consistent with momentum and reversal effects for unconstrained assets....

Short-sale constrained past-winners and losers both underperform strongly in the first year post-formation, earning market-adjusted returns of −13%, and −17%, respectively. However, constrained winners continue to underperform for the following four years, earning a cumulative...
