摘要
The rise of the behavioral finance provides a new perspective to stock trading of managers and blockholders. The traditional dispute on insider trading focuses on information advantage with disagreement on its methodology. Using absolute volume and proportion of insider trading and a special database of Chinese delisted companies to avoid the methodological dispute, our paper examines which fits best the condition in China, the hypothesis of information advantage or the hypothesis of over optimism. Our result seems to support the hypothesis of over optimism.
