Insider trading destroys confidence in financial markets and undermines their fairness and efficiency. Substantial amounts of taxpayer money are spent each year in combatting insider trading, and yet cases of insider trading remain abundant. This project aims to advance our understanding of insider trading, its prevalence, social costs, characteristics and determinants, and how it responds to different penalties. This project aims to allow for more efficient use of regulatory resources through better rules, more accurate detection methods, and increased deterrence. It aims to benefit society through fairer and more efficient markets.
