We consruc a sae-space moel an use Kalman Fler o esmae e relaonsps beween e observable prce/ven an e unobservable bubbles/msspeccaon. Te moel s apple o CRS an S& 5 aa. Te resuls sow a e unamenal prce moel oes no escrbe e mare prces well. Te me-varyng rs premum s mporan n explanng soc prce movemens. o sgncan evence o bubbles s oun. I. ITRODUCTIO Ts paper sues weer speculave bubbles an moel-msspeccaon exs n e soc prces. We separae e valy o e speccaon o e unamenal soc prce moel rom e mplcaons o a bubble componen o soc prces. Te unamenal prce moel s consruce by ucas 978. He proposes a, base on e raonal expecaons ypoess, e soc prce soul relec e scoune values o uure vens an soc prces. Ts eal speccaon, owever, s no suppore by many emprcal sues [e.g. Sller 98; eroy an orer 98; Blancar an Wason 98]. Te alure o e unamenal prce moel as oen been consere as evence o e exsence o raonal bubbles. A raonal bubble relecs a sel-ulllng bele a an asse s prce epens on varables a are no pars o mare unamenals. Te exsence o bubbles causes screpances beween an asse s prce an s unamenal value. However, sues suc as Floo an Garber 98 an Hamlon an Weman 985 argue a e evence presene n avor o e clam o selulllng speculave bubbles mg nsea ave arsen rom raonal agens responng o mare unamenals a e researcers canno observe. One possbly or e unobservable unamenals o exs s a e unamenal prce moel s msspece. Tess or bubbles a ae correc moelspeccaon as gven an nerpre evaons rom e unamenal prce as evence o bubbles may no be juse because ey rejec e jon ypoess o no bubble an correc moel-speccaon.

2 xplcly expressng e msspeccaon n e moel, owever, s rarely seen n e leraure. An excepon s e suy or e Cagan ypernlaon moel by Durlau an Hooer 994. In er moel, e prce seres s ecompose no componens corresponng o unamenals, bubbles, an moel-msspeccaon. To be able o separae e moel-msspeccaon rom a bubble componen, ey propose wo consrans, low an soc, o uncover moel noses. By esng e orogonaly o ese consrans agans e normaon se, ey are able o nrecly es wc nose componen, bubbles or msspeccaon, s responsble or nonzero noses. Tey n a e emprcal evaons rom e unamenal prce soluon are prmarly by vrue o msspeccaon raer an bubbles. Unle Durlau an Hooer 994, s paper recly moels e msspeccaon componen an reans e explc reerence o e moelmsspeccaon an bubbles. Te msspeccaon s moele by usng e me-varyng rs premum ramewor propose by oerba an Summers 986. We en express e moel n a sae-space orm, reang e bubbles an e moel-msspeccaon as unobservable sae varables. Te Kalman lerng algorm s apple o esmae e sae-space moel. Te Kalman ler s an algorm or sequenally upang a lnear projecon or e sae-space moel. I also opens e way o e maxmum leloo esmaon o e unnown parameers n e moel. In aon, e Kalman Fler s esgne o wor w nonsaonary aa, because e ler prouces srbuons o e sae varables a are cononal on e prevous realzaon o e saes. Tereore, nonsaonary n sel presens no problem [Bomo 99]. Te res o s paper s organze as ollows. Te nex secon emonsraes e eorecal moel an s sae-space orm. Secon 3 scusses e emprcal resuls. Te nal secon conclues e paper. II. THORTICA MOD Ts secon buls e eorecal ounaon an e ramewor or eecng e bubbles an e moel-msspeccaon conane n e soc prces. We explan ow e speculave bubbles an moel-msspeccaon are generae n e soc prce moel. Speccally, uner e assumpons o no-arbrage an raonal expecaons, ucas 978 sows a e curren soc prce s equal o e scoune value o e sum o e expece soc prce an e ven nex pero: g g [ ], g were s e soc prce a pero,, s e scoun rae, s e ven a pero, s e cononal expecaon gven e normaon se avalable a.

Tereore, e soc prce can be parameerze by g B, were B s calle a raonal bubble. ow we urn o e moel-msspeccaon aspec o e soc prces. oerba an Summers 986 argue a e soc prces are oo volale o be explane by e unamenal prce moel. Canges n rs are responsble or a sgncan par o e soc prce volaly. Tereore, ey sugges an alernave ypoess o me-varyng rs premums.

Assume a e srucure o e socasc process o ven can be caracerze by an ARq process: q q e. 8 As sown n oe, e raonal expecaons ypoess mples a e unamenal prce can en be expresse as: q q, were j s are uncons o an j j,,,..., q. Tereore, equaon 7 relaes e observable an o e unobservable B an. To express s moel n a sae-space orm, we nee o n e ynamcs o e unobservable varables. Manpulang on 6 yels, 9 were.

In aon, ollowng Wu 995, assume a e bubble erm B a sases 3 ollows an AR process: B - B b, were b. Ten e me-varyng rs premum moel can be expresse as a sae-space moel w me-varyng parameers: [ ], B. b B B 3 quaon s nown as e observaon equaon, wc relaes e observable varables o e unobservable varables. quaon 3, nown as e sae equaon, escrbes e ynamcs o e unobservable varables.

In aon, e esmae o, e rs-orer auocorrelaon coecen o e rs premum, s abou. an e sanar error s less an % o e esmae, wc sases e assumpon a e rs premum s saonary. Aer e esmaes are obane by maxmum leloo esmaon, we erve e smooe esmaes o e sae vecor.

7 For e CRS aa se Fgure, e volaly n e soc prces s mosly cause by me-varyng rs premum, wc can be seen rom e ac a n Fgures a an, e mare prces an e moel-msspeccaon componen generally move ogeer. Te unamenal prce Fgure b s relavely sable. Te sanar evaon o e esmae unamenal prce s 4.36, wle e mare prce an e msspeccaon componen ave a sanar evaon o an33.65, respecvely. On e oer an, e bubble componen Fgure c as a ownwar ren urng e sample pero, bu s magnue s very small compare o e oer componens. Inee, e roo mean square orecasng errors o bubbles are all muc bgger an e esmaes o e bubbles, wc ncaes a ere s no sgncan evence o bubbles exsng n e CRS soc prces. 5 For e S& 5 aa se Fgure, e unamenal prce s more volale compare o a n e CRS aa. However, s sll no as mporan as e moel-msspeccaon componen n explanng e volaly n soc prces.

Ts paper sues weer bo speculave bubbles an moel-msspeccaon exs n e soc prces. Te me-varyng rs premum moel n oerba an Summers 986 s use o reveal e msspeccaon aspec n e soc prces.
