Description |
Academicians as well as practitioners have long been debating insider information. Controlled laboratory• experiment may be one way to estimate possible gains of an insider vis-a-vis a common investor given certain level of market efficiency. This paper reports the results of such a laboratory experiment using System Dynamics method; carried out to see effects of insider information on the profitability of the insiders versus that of the uniformed common investors. This study confirms that in a market, which has the ability to reflect the company inside information in market prices in one day, insiders cannot outperform the un-informed investors. However, another study with participant having investment knowledge or the practitioners from the stock markets may be carried out to know whether such a knowledge or expertise makes a difference. Another study could be carried out for those markets that could reflect inside information with a larger time lag.Key words: Stock markets; Reflect the company; PakistanEconomic Journal of Nepal A Quarterly Publication of the Central Department of Economics T.U., Kirtipur Vol. 31, No. 4 October-December 2008, Issue No. 124Page: 235-245Uploaded date: 5 July 2011
