Abstract

Behavior biases affect investors’ financial decisions in many ways such as herding behavior, which is the tendency for individuals to mimic the actions of a larger group. The purpose of the paper is to examine whether the herding causes volatility using daily data in Shanghai composite index. The results confirm that herding behavior makes a great influence on stock price volatility and a stable stock market based on the GARCH model in the periods of financial crisis of 2008 to 2010. The evidence indicates the effect is associated with market conditions, investors’ expectation, regulated market, and stock market co-integration.
