Date: 1st June 2015 Time: 6.30pm - 8.00pm
Venue: Sheikh Zayed Theatre, NAB, LSE
Speaker: Professor Robert J Shiller (Nobel prize winner and best selling author)
Chair: Christopher Polk (Director of the FMG, LSE)
Robert Shiller, who warned of both the tech and housing bubbles, now cautions that signs of irrational exuberance among investors have only increased since the 2008–9 financial crisis. With high stock and bond prices in the United States, and rising housing prices in many countries, the post-subprime boom may well turn out to be another illustration of Shiller’s influential argument that psychologically driven volatility is an inherent characteristic of all asset markets.
