In this study, we first constructed a theoretical model that included fundamental traders and extrapolated investors, and we assessed the time series characteristics of asset prices under different types of information shocks. According to the research results, good news about the fundamentals can lead to positive asset price bubbles, and correspondingly, bad news can lead to negative asset price bubbles; however, the decrease in asset prices in the case of negative bubbles is not as substantial as the increase in prices in the case of positive bubbles, and the time for prices to reverse is also long, which can be explained by the short-selling constraints. According to the comparative static analysis, the scales of the positive and negative foams depend on the proportion of investors in the market and the extrapolation coefficient. We verified the conclusion of the theoretical model from two aspects: (1) we analyzed the relationship between investor sentiment and the prevalence of informed trading, and according to the results, the increase (decrease) in investor sentiment can reduce the information content of asset prices and increase price volatility; however, the impact of low sentiment is not substantial, which preliminarily tests the conclusion of the theoretical model; (2) we examined the relationship between the cumulative change in investor sentiment and future portfolio returns, and we found that the cumulative increase in investor sentiment can have a positive impact on future portfolio returns at the initial stage, and depress future portfolio returns in the long term, which forms positive asset price bubbles. The cumulative depression of investor sentiment can depress the future portfolio returns at the initial stage, and positively influence the future portfolio returns in the long term, which forms negative asset price bubbles. Moreover, these two nonlinear relationships exhibit cross-sectional differences in different types of asset portfolios, which further validates the key proposition of the theoretical model.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems10060251","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,12]],"date-time":"2022-12-12T03:02:37Z","timestamp":1670814157000},"page":"251","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Behavioral Framework of Asset Price Bubbles: Theoretical and Empirical Analyses"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9578-5925","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cong","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Finance and Economics, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang 212013, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Changsheng","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Economics and Management School, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5988-0378","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hongxing","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Finance and Economics, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang 212013, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1053","DOI":"10.1016\/S1574-0102(03)01027-6","article-title":"A Survey of Behavioral Finance","volume":"Volume 1","author":"Barberis","year":"2003","journal-title":"Handbook of The Economics of Finance"},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"79","article-title":"Psychology-Based Models of Asset Prices and Trading Volume","volume":"Volume 1","author":"Barberis","year":"2018","journal-title":"Handbook of Behavioral Economics: Applications and Foundations 1"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"71","DOI":"10.1093\/qje\/qjx034","article-title":"Excess Volatility: Beyond Discount Rates","volume":"133","author":"Giglio","year":"2018","journal-title":"Q.
