Dr Paul Fryer reviews the Research Handbook on Insider Trading
This handbook, edited by Stephen M. Bainbridge, Professor of Law at the University of Californi, is designed to provide a broad overview of research focusing on insider trading, predominantly in the United States but also offer global perspectives from Asia, Australasia, and Europe. It also seeks to provide an additional dimension by critically examining some of more challenging and under-explored aspects of financial crime. ...
This research handbook is, in parts, highly innovative with chapters that focus on areas not generally associated with insider trading activities, such as gender and the impact of social media activities. However, the vast majority of chapters focus on "nuts and bolts" issues that academics and practitioners in this field with be familiar with. Stephen Bainbridge and his contributors have produced a valuable reference source for scholars and practitioners of corporate law who wish to gain a greater understanding of insider trading.
