Abstract

Insider trading has been a much-rumored phenomenon in Taiwan. In a newspaper article headlined Bitter Fruit of Stock Investment, the author states, “…Taiwan has a stock market culture which is — on the surface at least — quite egalitarian in its nature. Insider trading? Everyone is doing it.” Ironically, very little government action has been taken to track down insider traders, and the academia has been reluctant to search for evidence of insider trading in Taiwan in fear that such a sensitive research would result in serious ramifications.
