Past economic bubbles have been inflated by visions of wealth from tulips (yes, tulips), international trade, railroads, biotechnology and the Internet. Their bursting has been disastrous for individuals and entire nations.The U.S. and other countries are still reeling from the collapse of the recent housing bubble.

    Bubbles definitely merit in-depth study for a better understanding of how they develop, how to predict them, and how to contend with the economic mess created when they burst. At NJIT, this is the goal of  Professor William Rapp, director of the School of Management’s new Leir Center for Financial Bubble Research, www.leirbubblecenter.org. Coming up, Sept. 14-15, 2012, the center will host a conference on policies to contain the negative effects of bubbles without hindering economic progress.

NJIT has a long history of technological research and the Center is designed to bring those resources together with students, faculty and other entrepreneurs to create cutting edge innovation and empower bold ventures.  A key defining factor of the Center is the focus on helping ventures accelerate their growth achieving time to market and time to profitability milestones.
