Background:
Information Cascades and Rational Herding: An Annotated Bibliography and Resource Reference (Bikchandani et al. 2004). The best resource on the topic, see in particular the initial papers on the subject.

“Information cascade” from Wikipedia. An excellent introduction.
“Understanding Information Cascades” from Investopedia.
