We investigate herding in eight African frontier stock markets between January 2002 and July 2015, given the limited evidence on herding in frontier markets. Herding appears significant throughout the 2002-2015 period for all markets, with smaller stocks found to enhance its magnitude. Herding...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present and empirically test for the first time the hypothesis that herding in a market increases following the market's merger in an exchange group.Design/methodology/approach – The hypothesis is tested empirically in EURONEXT's four European equity...

This study investigates in the context of the Euronext, whether joining an exchange group affects herding in the group's member-markets and if this effect persists when accounting for various domestic and international market states, the dynamics of the group's member-markets and the outbreak of...

Drawing on a unique data set of daily portfolio holdings for Turkish mutual funds we investigate the relationship between mood and institutional herding on the premises of various established mood proxies (weekend effect; holiday effect; Ramadan; sunshine; new/full moon) for the January...

This study investigates intraday herding on the Euronext, the world's first cross-border consolidated exchange. Intraday herding is significant in the Euronext as a group and presents us with size, industry and country effects. Importantly, the trading dynamics of the group's member markets...

Following Cooper et al. 2004 we test whether market states are relevant for predicting UK momentum profits. However, rather than simply categorizing up/down markets based on actual prices as Cooper et al. 2004, we suggest investors may view expectations and/or sentiment as important. Contrary to...

Emerging markets have been found to accommodate higher herding levels compared to their developed counterparts, yet very little attention has been drawn to the possible impact of thin trading over herding estimations, even though these markets are often typified by thin trading. We address this...

Research in behavioural finance has denoted the significant presence of herd behaviour in emerging capital markets. However, although the latter are typified by substantial levels of thin trading, its impact over the measurement of herding has been the subject of very little attention. We...

The behavioural expressions of herding and feedback trading maintain properties that render their coexistence a possibility. Although their joint presence has been largely confirmed by empirical work in the Finance literature at the micro level (i.e. using micro data), the pursuit of this issue...
