The purpose of this study is to prove that there was herding behavior by domestic investors following that of foreign investors in the Indonesian Capital Market (IDX) and that the herding was influenced by information asymmetry. It began when global investors undertook international diversification to the IDX because the returns on their portfolios were not on the efficient frontier during the crisis and because of the low correlation between Indonesia’s economy and the American and European economies. Utilizing the IDX daily transaction data during the years 2009-2011, the herding behavior of domestic investors, which followed that of foreign investors, was tested by Lakonishok models as was the influence of information asymmetry on the herding. It was found that the herding behavior in the IDX occurred in buy, sell or entire herdings (buy and sell). There were 0.40 to 0.55 buy herdings and 0.20 to 0.40 sell herdings during the crisis in 2008 and 2009. Buy herding then continued in 2010 onwards, although with lower intensity (0.05 to 0.20); however, sell herding decreased dramatically, and there has been almost no sell herding since then. Nevertheless, domestic investors did then sell in the opposite strategy, which was to sell when foreign investors tended to buy. Subsequent findings demonstrated that herding occurred with the influence of information asymmetry between domestic and foreign investors.

Herd Behaviour

Do investors in the stock markets act/react on true information or noise? Do they believe on their own information or simply herd? The study seeks to explore these typical research queries from the behavioral finance perspectives. In particular, it develops a new theory of herding behavior and extends the models of Banerjee (1992) and Bikhchandani, Hirshleifer, and Welch (1992). The study also empirically tests the same on the Indian context with the high frequency intraday trading data for the real trade-time or time-stamp, trade-volume, and trade-price of ten sample scripts listed for their trading in both markets - the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National stock Exchange (NSE). The study contributes to the literature with original findings. It shows that investors in the two Indian stock markets show crowd of positive and negative herding as well significantly and there is huge noise along with information in the markets equilibrium pricing mechanism.

Credibility Problem

The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. (PSE) was suffering a credibility problem in 2011. Just like the Philippine economy, the PSE was not performing well and the integrity of its leadership and decisions they made was being questioned by the public at large and the business community in particular. Hans Sicat, a retired investment banker, was invited to join the Board of Directors with a tacit agreement that he would be elected Chairman. Events thereafter led to Mr. Sicat's appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer of the bourse. Hans Sicat turns around the stock exchange successfully. How he makes it look seemingly simple is the subject of this case. Hans places all transformative efforts into two “bucket lists”. All of his efforts to increase the volume of trade in the exchange are classified under Liquidity, while all efforts to restore the integrity within the bourse and its listed firms, he refers to as Governance issues. The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. transformation does not go unnoticed by domestic and foreign investors, and other stakeholders as well. It breaks the 5,000 point barrier.

Behavior Models

Herding investment behavior on stock markets has consequences for practitioners, theorists, and policy makers. Thus, empirical research on this topic in the last couple of years has grown exponentially. However, there exist only a few papers dealing with herding behavior that consider the Croatian stock market. This study employs the quantile regression approach of estimating several herding investor behavior models of this market for the first time in the literature. Based upon daily data for the 37 most liquid stocks in the Zagreb Stock Exchange (ZSE) for the period September 22, 2014 to May 8, 2018, several model specifications are determined using quantile regression. Because the quantile regression approach deals with specific characteristics of financial data (stylized facts) better than the OLS method, more robust results can be achieved for evaluating if herding behavior is present in the Croatian market. The results indicate very weak to almost nonexistent evidence of herding behavior in the ZSE. Moreover, market volatility does not have any effect on herding behavior. Finally, the economic and political crisis (regarding concern Agrokor) in 2017 was controlled for in the model and the crisis was found insignificant. It seems that herding behavior does not need to be taken into account when tailoring investment strategies on the ZSE.

Stationary Test

The article tested net buying selling in Jakarta Stock Exchange. JSX index stated an amazing leap during 2006 however the performance was affect by foreign investor rather than domestic investors. The research indicates that net buying selling forces by foreign investors and the fund transfer during transaction will affect the foreign exchange rate (USD to IDR). The study argues the increasing rate of net buying selling also increase the volatility of exchange rate. Using TARCH model, the research found significant result that supported the argument. The research also test the robustness of data using stationary test. Therefore, the result statistically hold and TARCH model plus AR (1) also hold during the analysis.
