Abstract

The Log-Periodic Power Law (LPPL) is a consistent model capable of detecting explosives financial bubbles, which reflect the positive and nonlinear investors feedbacks. The regime imposed by the model is faster than an exponentially growth rate, combined with logarithmic oscillations. Applying the LPPL model on the top 25 most liquid companies traded on Bucharest Stock Exchange that are part of BET-XT Index basket on daily data between 26/01/1997 – 10/02/2017, we managed to find a total number of 54 financial bubbles regimes.
