This thesis comprises of three essays that investigate herding behavior and information in financial markets. The first essay tests the theoretical information cascading model of Avery and Zemsky (1998). Using daily trade and quote data, we test specifically whether institutional investors trade together and whether correlation in trading has an impact on future prices. We find variables proxying for information asymmetry to positively predict increased levels of institutional herding at high frequencies and that herding decreases monotonically with the estimation horizon. There is evidence that days with high levels of herding are subsequently followed by price reversals but these are limited to those stocks where market makers are unlikel...
