An economic bubble is an economic cycle characterized by rapid expansion followed by rapid contraction (the bursting of the bubble).[1] During the expansion period of a bubble, people often buy assets in the belief that they will necessarily be able to sell them at a profit. Examples include tulip mania, the dot-com bubble, and the housing bubble.
