Herding Behaviour Inside the Board: an experimental approach

Corporate Governance: An International Review, 2006, vol. 14, issue 5, 388-405

Abstract: An experimental study was conducted to measure the impact of “herding behaviour” inside a board of directors based on the González (2002 PhD dissertation) theoretical model, which maintains that in a board meeting composed of a CEO and two external directors (A and B), where voting is sequential (CEO → A → B) and the directors’ reputations are valuable, director B tends to copy director A’s decision. Based on the observations made through the experiment, we confirm the presence of herding behaviour.
