Directors’ Dealings and Insider Trading are well-known patrons to both, the academic literature and the financial press. While directors’ dealings have been regulated in the US and many other countries, the German legislator tightened only a few years ago trading rules for insiders and imposed in July 2002 a notification requirement for directors’ dealings.

He closes with an ordered-probit model analyzing the relationship between corporate actions and directors’ dealings.weiterlesen
