Asset Price Bubbles

Larry Summers recently warned that advanced economies are facing structurally weak growth. The best that policy-makers can do is inflate an endless series of asset price bubbles to stimulate demand, rolling through the various asset markets in turn. The experience of the last two decades supports that view – first the dotcom and associated tech stock bubble; then the housing market bubble, inflated by over-exuberant banks; then the bubble in government bond markets fueled by quantitative easing; and most recently, perhaps, a nascent bubble in equity prices.
