“…The literature also suggests explanations for the Internet bubble, like the role of the media (Bhattacharya et al 2004), processes of groupthink (Valliere and Peterson 2004), irrational exuberance (Shiller 2005), and overly optimistic expectations of the business prospects for companies active in this sector (Schleifer 2000).…”

This paper investigates the history of economic bubbles and attempts to identify whether there are direct correlations between different bubbles. To support this research, literature has been consulted on historical and recent bubbles, theories surrounding speculation, the market for venture capital, and bubbles in the technology sector. By analysing a range of bubbles, rather than just those in the technology sector, general bubble-principles are also identified. All the economic bubbles are classified under "uncontrolled risk" and a recommended method that can detect and analyse full impacts by uncontrolled risk will be presented, together with future directions to be discussed.

Returns also rose spectacularly.…”
