Aggregated Beliefs and Informational Cascades
Conference paper
Abstract
In the 1992 paper [1] Bikchandani et al. show how it may be rational for Bayesian agents in a sequential decision making scenario to ignore their private information and conform to the choices made by previous agents. If this occurs, an agent ignoring her private information is said to be in a cascade.
