Herd behavior and investment: reply

Article Abstract:

In 1990, David Scharfstein and Jeremy Stein presented a model demonstrating how reputation conscious "dumb" agents might ignore information and simply imitate the behavior of "smart" managers: a "follow the herd" scenario. Since that time, empirical evidence has been found to support that idea.
