“…In Table VI, we test the sensitivity of the results in Tables IV and V using two measures of abnormal inside trading similar to those used in Seyhun (1990), Karpoff and Lee (1991), Gosnell, Keown, and Pinkerton (1992), Lee et al (1992), Gombola, Lee, and Liu (1997), and Seyhun and Bradley (1997).
