Insider Trading: A Study of Motivations and Deterrents

Beams, Joseph Dean 04 February 2003 (has links)
Due to recent events in corporate America, including the recent Enron scandal and numerous cases of insider trading, the public's faith in the fairness of the stock markets has been shaken. The current study suggests that public relations efforts that are designed to increase the public's perception of the integrity of United States stock markets and lower public cynicism toward insider trading may be fruitful. The contributions of this study are to identify what leads to insider trading and thereby identify methods to reduce it. Graduate student subjects are used to test the relationship between the intent to trade based on insider information and the deterrents and motivations for insider trading. The results of the study indicate that gain, certainty, cynicism, guilt, social stigma, and agreement with the law have a significant effect on an individual's intent to take part in insider trading. The results do not provide conclusive support that increasing severity of punishment decreases the likelihood of trading based on insider information. The results also show that there are differences in the perceptions of male and female respondents with regard to the deterrence variables. Identifying what situations are more likely to lead to insider trading allows policymakers to design more efficient detection efforts. This study finds that subjects' are more inclined to trade based on insider information to avoid a loss on stock they currently own than to achieve an abnormal gain by purchasing a stock that they do not currently own. This study finds that the intent to take part in insider trading increases as the perception of likelihood of getting caught decreases. The results indicate that subjects are more willing to use insider information when it is from a friend because their likelihood of getting caught is lower. This is important for two reasons. If the incidence of insider trading is higher in situations that involve second hand knowledge, then detection efforts become more complicated. Also, the presence of insider trading may be significantly higher than current detection efforts indicate because these cases are hard to detect. / Ph. D.

Is 'Not-Trading' Informative? Evidence from Corporate Insiders' Portfolios

DeVault, Luke January 2016 (has links)
Some corporate insiders hold insider equity holdings in multiple companies (portfolio insiders). I hypothesize that information can be garnered not only from their trades (e.g., an insider sale of firm A on day t), but from their not-traded securities (e.g. the insider's decision not to sell firms B and C on day t). Specifically, an insider's decision not to sell (purchase) security B at the time of the sale (purchase) of security A, is a positive (negative) signal for security B, the not-sold (not-bought) security. The paper presents three major empirical findings. First, portfolio insider not-sold securities following a sale earn large risk-adjusted returns outperforming the not-purchased securities following a purchase. Second, portfolio insiders' purchases are more informative than single-firm insiders' purchases. Finally, the results suggest that abnormal returns associated with insider purchases result from markets reacting to the revelation of the insider purchase while abnormal returns associated with not-sold securities appear to result from insiders delaying sales prior to positive firm-specific events.

Former Insiders' Trading

Johannesson, Erik January 2018 (has links)
Using detailed and unique data from Sweden, I show that former insiders trade profitably in the shares of companies with which they used to be affiliated. A trading strategy mimicking former insiders’ trading behavior yields abnormal returns of 7.6% per year. These returns are primarily driven by post-separation purchases rather than by sales. They do not reflect general stock-picking skills: former insiders earn significantly lower abnormal returns when trading in companies with which they have no affiliation. I show that former insiders’ informational advantage diminishes over time, but less so if they have ties to current insiders. The importance of such ties increases in the presence of value-relevant information. My results are consistent with former insiders benefiting from both a retained informational advantage and from inside information obtained post-separation when trading in inside stock.
