“…To provide just a few examples, there is abundant recent empirical evidence on informed trading ahead of earnings announcements (Kaniel, Liu, Saar, and Titman (2012), Kadan, Michaely, and Moulton (2014), Goyenko, Ornthanalai, and Tang (2014)), mergers and acquisitions (M&A) (Cao, Chen, and Griffin (2005), Chan, Ge, and Lin (2014), Augustin, Brenner, and Subrahmanyam (2014)), bankruptcies (Ge, Humphrey-Jenner, and Lin (2014)), the 9/11 terrorist attack (Poteshman (2006)), and leveraged buyouts (Acharya and Johnson (2010)). The question of where informed investors trade has also been studied extensively, from a theoretical perspective, taking into consideration asymmetric information (Easley, O'Hara, and Srinivas (1998)), differences in opinion (Cao and Ou-Yang (2009)), short-sale constraints (Johnson and So (2012)), or margin requirements and wealth constraints (John, Koticha, Narayanan, and Subrahmanyam (2003)).…”
