Abstract: This paper examines the intentional herd behaviour of market participants using a new bootstrap-based approach that compares the scaled cross-sectional deviation of returns in the intraday market with the cross-sectional deviation of returns of an �artificially created� market free of intentional herding effects. The analysis is carried out for both the overall market and a sample of the most representative. The results show that the Spanish market exhibits a significant intraday herding effect that is not detected using other traditional measures when familiar stocks are analysed. Furthermore, it is suggested that herding is likely to be better revealed using intraday data.
