“…Signalling theory is concerned with decreasing the degree of information asymmetry between two parties involved in a transaction (Spence, 2002) and its use to explain corporate events is gaining momentum in areas such as corporate management, human resource management and entrepreneurship, as well as into the fields of finance, organizational science and accounting (Connelly et al, 2011). It is evident that inside managers know more about the firm and its future prospects than do outside investors (Anderson and Prezas, 2003;Chen et al, 2004;Wu and Lee, 2008;Shaw, 2012;Gangopadhyay et al, 2014;Koutmos, 2016;Milian, 2016).

“…While prior studies have examined the economic determinants and benefits of foreign equity portfolio allocation, relatively less empirical work exists on how the interaction between insider trading laws enforcement and institutions may influence international portfolio investments (see So and Tse 2001;Papaioannou 2009;Phengpis and Swanson 2011;Chiou and Lee 2013;Okada 2013). Notwithstanding countries enacting insider trading laws, existing studies show that corporate insiders continue to trade on price-sensitive non-public information (Kryzanowski and Lazrak 2011;Milian 2016;Tartaroglu and Imhof 2017).…”

In this study, we examine the effects of stringent insider trading laws' enforcement, institutions and stock market development on international equity portfolio allocation using data from 44 countries over the period 2001-2015. Our results suggest that stringent insider trading laws and their enforcement exert a positive and significant impact on international portfolio investment allocation. Further analysis indicates that the interaction between a country's institutional quality, stock market development and enforcement of insider trading laws have a positive and significant effect on international equity portfolio allocation. The findings of this study have implications for the design of portfolio investment trading strategies and contribute to the literature on foreign equity investment decisions.
