Download or read book Dissecting the Relation Between Insider and Institutional Trading written by He Wang and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of two essays. In the first essay, we examined the relation between insider trades and institution demand. The literature documents a strong inverse relation between insider trading and institutional demand, suggesting that institutions provide liquidity for insider trading. Motivated by empirical evidence that there is considerable variation of informativeness among institutions and insiders, this paper further examines the relation between insider trading and institutional trading by classifying insiders as opportunistic vs. routine traders and institutions as short-term vs. long-term investors. We find that the inverse relation between insider trading and institutional demand is mainly driven by long-term institutions. In fact, short-term institutions tend to trade in the same direction as opportunistic insiders whose trades are more informative of future stock price changes. The results are stronger for trades on small cap stocks. Further separating officers and directors vs. other insiders, we show that our findings are driven primarily by trades from opportunistic officers and directors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a strong inverse relation between insider trading and institutional demand the same quarter and over the previous year. Our analysis suggests a combination of factors contribute to this relation. First, institutional investors are more likely to provide the liquidity necessary for insiders to trade. Second, insiders are more likely to buy low valuation and low lag return stocks while institutions are attracted to the opposite security characteristics. Last, the results are consistent with the hypothesis that insiders are more likely to view their securities as overvalued following a period when institutions were net buyers and undervalued following a period when institutions were net sellers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines three unanswered research questions that contribute to the understanding of informational role of corporate insiders for financial markets. In the first chapter, I examine whether celebrity or star status of a chief executive officer(CEO) affects the informativeness of his trades. In the second chapter, I test the relationship between aggregate insider trades and corporate bond rating. In the final chapter, I investigate the insider trading behavior of narcissistic CEOs. Overall, my findings support the notion that equity trades executed by corporate insiders possess useful information that could be potentially exploited by the noise traders.

Download or read book Institutional Ownership and Insider Trading written by Stephen A. Hillegeist and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the causal effect of institutional ownership on insider trading using a regression discontinuity design to analyze exogenous differences in institutional ownership around Russell Index reconstitutions. Our findings indicate institutional investors influence insider trading behavior. Higher institutional ownership leads to fewer insider trades overall (both buys and sells) and less profitable sell trades. Further analyses indicate the reductions in trading frequency are concentrated in opportunistic, as opposed to routine, insider trades. Our findings differ from those in prior literature, which likely suffers from endogeneity issues. We also provide evidence on one potential mechanism through which institutions' preferences on insider trading are instituted. We find firms with higher levels of institutional ownership are significantly more likely to have and/or more strictly enforce blackout policies, which limit trades by insiders to certain periods. These findings provide new insights on how institutional investors function as external monitors. Overall, our results suggest institutions generally view privately informed insider trading as undesirable and use their influence to mitigate it.

Download or read book Market Manipulation and Insider Trading written by Ester Herlin-Karnell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union regime for fighting market manipulation and insider trading – commonly referred to as market abuse – was significantly reshuffled in the wake of the financial crisis of 2007/2008 and new legal instruments to fight market abuse were eventually adopted in 2014. In this monograph the authors identify the association between the financial crisis and market abuse, critically consider the legislative, policy and enforcement responses in the European Union, and contrast them with the approaches adopted by the United States of America and the United Kingdom respectively. The aftermath of the financial crisis, ongoing security concerns and increased legislation and policy responses to the fight against irregularities and market failures demonstrate that we need to understand, in context, the regulatory responses taken in this area. Specifically, the book investigates how the regulatory responses have changed over time since the start of the financial crisis. Market Manipulation and Insider Trading places the fight against market abuse in the broader framework of the fight against white collar crime and also considers some associated questions in order to better understand the contemporary market abuse regime.

Download or read book Schism written by Paul Blustein and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001 was heralded as historic, and for good reason: the world's most populous nation was joining the rule-based system that has governed international commerce since World War II. But the full ramifications of that event are only now becoming apparent, as the Chinese economic juggernaut has evolved in unanticipated and profoundly troublesome ways. In this book, journalist Paul Blustein chronicles the contentious process resulting in China's WTO membership and the transformative changes that followed, both good and bad - for China, for its trading partners, and for the global trading system as a whole. The book recounts how China opened its markets and underwent far-reaching reforms that fuelled its economic takeoff, but then adopted policies - a cheap currency and heavy-handed state intervention - that unfairly disadvantaged foreign competitors and circumvented WTO rules. Events took a potentially catastrophic turn in 2018 with the eruption of a trade war between China and the United States, which has brought the trading system to a breaking point. Regardless of how the latest confrontation unfolds, the world will be grappling for decades with the challenges posed by China Inc.
