Dans les modèles économiques standard, on suppose que les marchés financiers sont efficients et ne sont entachés d'aucune distorsion et que les agents économiques ont un comportement «rationnel» (c'est-à-dire qu'ils optimisent leur utilité). Des déséquilibres des prix des actifs ne peuvent survenir à moins que des facteurs exogènes ne poussent les agents économiques à s'écarter de leur comportement optimal. 2, record 1, French, - distorsion
