Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

a) The term that is used to refer to such behavior is herding. Herding occurs when individuals conform to the decisions of others. In this case, you have chosen to follow your competitors and conform to their decisions.
b) In general, there are two reasons why individuals might decide to herd. The first may simply be that they are afraid of being wrongfor this reason, they might not value their own instincts highly. Another reason is the assumption that if many people are making the same decision, they must be doing so for a reason. Herding creates an informational equilibrium in which people trust the wisdom of others and ignore their own information.
