Abstract
⺠We document the existence of herding behavior in the US REITs during 2004-2011. ⺠We incorporate variables related to the funding conditions and market sentiment. ⺠Deterioration of investors' sentiment contributed to the emergence of herding. ⺠Adverse funding conditions affected US REIT herding behavior. ⺠The recent financial crisis did not seem to contribute to this phenomenon.
