We carry out two experiments to test a model of herd behaviout based on the work of Banerjee (1992). He shows that herding occurs as a result of people observing the actions of others and using this information in their own decision rule.

This paper investigates the relative empirical performance of 3 stories of error' in decision-making experiments - finding that the constant-error-probability story does not fit particularly well, but that the white-noise and stochastic preference stories perform considerably better. The paper...
