    The Next Bubble?

    ERASMUS UNIVERSITY ROTTERDAM Erasmus School of Economics Bachelor Thesis Economics and Business Economics UNICORNS: THE NEXT BUBBLE? Author: N.B.M. Blom Student number: 482537 Thesis supervisor: Dr. J. Lemmen Second assessor: Dr. R. Cox Finish date: August 2020 The views stated in this thesis are those of the author and not necessarily those of the supervisor, second assessor, Erasmus School of Economics or Erasmus University Rotterdam. Abstract The current stock market, that is experiencing all-time low interest rates, provides a great environment for a potential asset price bubble to develop. As a consequence, venture capital-backed start-up companies reach billion dollar valuation in a short period of time. The development of these unicorn companies shows great resemblance to the events that led to the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s. This research attempts to fill the gap in the empirical literature, by assessing the extent to which unicorns exhibit similar characteristics to historical asset price bubbles, like the dot-com bubble. A multivariate regression model and propensity score matching method indicate that unicorns experience a higher degree of underpricing than non-unicorns at their initial public offering with up to 23 percent larger returns. Right-tailed forward recursive augmented Dickey-Fuller tests detect explosive price behavior in stocks of unicorns and this explosiveness appears to be positively related to trading volume and price volatility. The unicorn events show great analogy to the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s, which strengthens the presumption that an asset price bubble is emerging in the current stock market.
