註釋
A model in which agents on both sides of the market are subject to informational cascades is examined. In an uncertain environment with asymmetric information agents tend to be overoptimistic about the state of the world, a result that fits with empirical evidence on financing new technologies. This overoptimism based on mutual illusions makes the system vulnerable to two-sided bubbles, and may be one of the reasons behind "dot com" crash.
