Title:
Bubbles, Fools and Common Knowledge: Epistemic Conditions for Bubble Formation

Abstract:
Bubble studies is a new concept. Common knowledge is an older and much celebrated concept in formal epistemology, interactive epistemology and epistemic game theory, developed, refined and applied equally by logicians, economists and behavioural scientists alike. In bubble studies these fields of research come together in such a way that bubble formation models in no small measure rely on common knowledge configurations, but also veils of pluralistic ignorance and greater fools.
