Herding with and Without Payoff Externalities - an Internet Experiment

Most real world situations which are susceptible to herding are also characterized by direct payoff externalities. Yet, the bulk of the theoretical and experimental literature focuses on pure informational externalities.

We also replicate and review earlier cascade experiments. Finally, we study reputation effects in the context of herding
