12. Interview with Robert Shiller. Шиллер дает следующее определение спекулятивного пузыря: «Ситуация, в которой новости, касающиеся цены, подогревают энтузиазм инвесторов, и в силу психологии они начинают заражать энтузиазмом друг друга. К тому же процесс усиливается историями, оправдывающими рост цены и привлекающими все больше и больше групп инвесторов, которые, несмотря на сомнения по поводу реальной стоимости вложений, поддаются соблазну в какой-то мере из-за зависти к другим, а в какой-то из-за азарта». В случае нефти, однако, большинство инвесторов уверены и практически не сомневаются в том, что они считают «реальной» (или будущей) стоимостью нефти. См.
