I have read this paper now and noticed that the title of Orlean (1992) is
mistranslated. The original title in French is "Contagion des opinions et
fonctionnement des march=E9s financiers." I would translate this as
"Contagion of opinions and functioning of financial markets" rather than
just "Contagion of opinion in financial markets."=20
It's a minor point, but I am likely to cite the same paper in an
elaboration and application of the stock market memetics section of my 1997
gdi-impuls article, whose title in English is Thought Contagion and Mass
Belief. (As I announced last year, the Enlish version is at
http://www.mcs.net/~aaron/tcamb.htm.)=20
