<abstract><p>In this paper, the insider trading model of Xiao and Zhou (<italic>Acta Mathematicae Applicatae, 2021</italic>) is further studied, in which market makers receive partial information about a static risky asset and an insider stops trading at a random time. With the help of dynamic programming principle, we obtain a unique linear Bayesian equilibrium consisting of insider's trading intensity and market liquidity parameter, instead of none Bayesian equilibrium as before. It shows that (i) as time goes by, both trading intensity and market depth increase exponentially, while residual information decreases exponentially; (ii) with average trading time increasing, trading intensity decrease, but both residual information and insider's expected profit increase, while market depth is a unimodal function with a unique minimum with respect to average trading time; (iii) the less information observed by market makers, the weaker trading intensity and market depth are, but the more both expect profit and residual information are, which is in accord with our economic intuition.</p></abstract>

AbstractWe test the hypothesis that insider trading impairs market liquidity by analyzing intraday trades and quotes around 1,497 IPO lockup expirations in the period 1995–1999. We find that, while lockup expirations are associated with considerable insider trading for some IPO firms, they have little effect on effective spreads. By contrast, two other liquidity measures, quote depth and trading activity, improve substantially. In the 23% of lockup expirations where insiders disclose share sales, spreads actually decline. These findings indicate that a large body of well-informed, blockholding insider traders can enter a market from which they had previously been absent, and substantially change trading volume and share price without impairing market liquidity.

The purpose of this paper is to look at the duration of the four-month period before the window dressing of Power Quotient International Co., LTD. (PQI) annual report between 2004 and 2005 was disclosed. The vultures sold 6,373,000 shares of PQI's stock based on the illegally obtained insider information. The empirical results indicate that the vultures' selling did not make PQI's stock price go down during insider period, but PQI's stock price did appear to rise and significantly exceeded the non-insider period. However, the proportion of vultures' selling is negatively correlated with the changes in PQI's stock price. The effect of vultures' selling is indifferent from the effect of non-vultures' selling during insider period. Market liquidity is also affected unfavorably in the presence of vultures' trading. Additionally, the newspaper's reports on PQI's positive or negative news significantly influence the investment decision of investors in Taiwan, and significantly influence the PQI's price changes and market liquidity.

Financial problems which the developed countries are encountered with today result in volatility of Russian stock market, liquidity problems for banks, unstable prices. These factors in total may put longer-term prospects of economic growth in jeopardy. Monetary, foreign exchange and stock market mechanisms become the centerpiece of economic policy approaches which should provide for stable development in the shaky environment.
