HERDING IN STYLE ALLOCATIONS

Herding Behaviour in Strategic Style Allocations: Empirical Evidence on Uk Pension Plan Managers

This study firstly examines herding behaviour in the strategic style allocations of UK pension plans by using the traditional measure developed by Lakonishok et al. (1992). Afterwards, some original analyses are carried out to overcome certain shortcomings and limitations existing in this metric. The results show that UK pension managers are involved in herd behaviour although the magnitude of ...

Herding in humans.

Herding is a form of convergent social behaviour that can be broadly defined as the alignment of the thoughts or behaviours of individuals in a group (herd) through local interaction and without centralized coordination. We suggest that herding has a broad application, from intellectual fashion to mob violence; and that understanding herding is particularly pertinent in an increasingly intercon...

Herding Folksongs

Cataloging a large, multi-media collection of traditional song and drama in preparation for online presentation highlights issues of song identity and access in the context of contemporary digitized archives. In the James Madison Carpenter collection a particular folksong sung by a particular individual may exist in multiple manifestations: typed song text, sound recording(s), and/or manuscript...

Parametric Herding

A parametric version of herding is formulated. The nonlinear mapping between consecutive time slices is learned by a form of self-supervised training. The resulting dynamical system generates pseudo-samples that resemble the original data. We show how this parametric herding can be successfully used to compress a dataset consisting of binary digits. It is also verified that high compression rat...
