Primes

• Speculative Bubble
  • Sociology: Social manias, fads, and crazes, where adoption fuels further adoption (a person joins because others are joining) until the population of potential adopters saturates and the fad collapses; the structure mirrors financial bubbles with social approval substituting for monetary return, a contagion-to-saturation dynamic Bikhchandani and Sharma (2001) trace in their survey of herd behavior in markets and crowds.

    This sourceSurveys how imitation and informational contagion drive adoption to overshoot and saturate in markets and crowds, the social analogue of the bubble's reflexive inflow.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
