Abstract

This paper extends the model of information cascade (Bikhchandani, Hirshleifer, and Welch, 1992) by introducing two correlated queues of players. By comparing the equilibrium outcomes of the two-queue game with the benchmark one-queue game, this paper finds out that the observability of correlated players decreases the probability of correct permanent cascades.

Keywords: Informational cascades, imperfectly correlated players, multiple queues
