This paper examines the dynamic dependence between internet postings and herd behavior in China's open-end fund market using DCC-GARCH and TVP-SV-VAR models. Results indicate a time-varying and asymmetric relationship, with internet postings negatively affecting herd behavior, particularly in the short term. Herd behavior, conversely, increases postings, thereby weakening the herding effect. Increases in postings have a more pronounced effect on herd behavior than decreases.
