Recommendation
Researchers Marco Cipriani and Antonio Guarino present an innovative approach to the study of “herding,” traders’ tendency to base their transactions on market movements even if those actions contradict the traders’ information. Cipriani and Guarino’s model is the first to blend “social learning” theories of motivation with trading statistics to derive an understanding of why traders act as they do. getAbstract suggests their scholarly work to academics, regulators and financial services professionals interested in cutting-edge research on stock market behavior.
