Traditional architectural approaches for increasing microprocessor performance rely on the use of large, complex, highly-speculative out-of-order cores to extract InstructionLevel Parallelism (ILP) from single-threaded applications. In order to realize high performance, these designs employ a myriad of speculative techniques, ranging from branch prediction to load-latency prediction and memory-...

A previous version of the paper has been published as Bank of Finland BOFIT Discussion Paper No. 27-2012. The views expressed in the paper are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Bank of Finland. The recent increase in Chinese house prices has led to concerns that China is vulnerable to asset price shocks. In this paper, we apply recently developed recursive uni...

Keeping a basic tenet of economic theory, rational expectations, we model the nonlinear positive feedback between agents in the stock market as an interplay between nonlinearity and multiplicative noise. The derived hyperbolic stochastic finite-time singularity formula transforms a Gaussian white noise into a rich time series possessing all the stylized facts of empirical prices, as well as acc...

Amid surging market values and widespread regulatory discussion, NFT DeFi markets are widely perceived as being simply speculative in nature. This paper detects the existence dates of price bubbles by applying SADF GSADF tests. We document that both exhibit bubbles, with more recurrent having higher average explosive magnitudes than bubbles. The highly correlated hype general cryptocurrency unc...
