Specifically, it is hoped that an artificial surge in asset prices will make people feel richer and more optimistic, thus triggering wealth effects and animal spirits that stimulate consumption and investment spending, bolster job creation, and, in the process, validate the artificial asset pricing.

This suggests that the findings and methodologies applied in the E RISC project bring added value to traditional sovereign risk analysis, by providing insights into relevant but currently unaccounted for parameters. Credit rating agencies, institutional investors, and asset managers are encouraged to see how such factors can be incorporated into their own risk models.
