Greater Fool Bubbles Seminar

Co-organized with John Conlon of the University of Mississippi, the Greater Fool Bubbles Seminar Series started in 2021 as a forum for researchers interested in speculative bubbles. Gatherings are virtual, but lively, with active presentations and discussions. Since participants are scattered around the globe, meeting times may vary between morning in the Americas/evening in East Asia, or vice versa. Dates below are US Eastern Time.
