Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to investigate the gregarious behavior of investors in ten Central and East European (CEE) stock markets during January 2, 2003 to December 31, 2013 and to assess the impact of the recent global financial crisis (GFC) on the degree of mimicry based on the intuitive assumption that gregarious behavior is more intensive during extreme market movements. We find weak evidence of gregarious behavior over the analyzed period and confirm that the GFC affected the gregarious behavior on CEE markets.
