Abstract

Herding Effects fluctuate the capital market and affect the stability of the market. This paper aims to evaluate whether the herding effect exists in Chinese stock market or not. First of all, we introduces the definition, classification, and reasons of the herding effect and the possible impact on the stock market. Based on the CCK model, we separately constructs the CSDA of stock returns and equal rights market returns and weighted market returns. From Jan 2011 to Jun 2017, 30 representative stocks of the CSI 300 Index constituent stocks were selected as samples to test the Herding Effects of the stock market in China. Our results show that there are obvious herding behaviors in Chinese stock market from Jan 2011 to Jun 2017 as a whole, and the weighted market rate return model can better reflect the herd behavior of the market. Finally, suggestions are given for strengthening information disclosure, reducing excessive intervention, and maintaining investment order.
