We analyse stock price behaviour around the disclosure of corporate insider transactions after the introduction of the Market Abuse Directive (MAD). Ranking according to our Insider Trading Enforcement (ITE) index highlights significant differences in the MAD enforcement between French and German legal origin countries. We document contrarian behaviour of insiders in all of the sample countries. Insiders reveal significant information to the public through both their purchases and sales. The price impact of the insiders' transactions is particularly strong in countries with a lower ITE index (i.e. weaker public enforcement).
This study examines the information value of corporate insider trading disclosures for a sample of 490 German companies. Our results indicate that insiders selling stocks in their own company reveal negative information about the intrinsic firm value. This is especially the case for large volume sale transactions. In addition, stock prices of smaller companies react stronger to insider transactions. Furthermore, insiders tend to time their transactions, selling shares after stock price increases and buying shares after stock price decreases.
ZusammenfassungDer Aufbau und Ausbau von landschaftsunabhängigen Angeboten, wie Wellness- und Indoorsportanlagen, wird häufig in Zusammenhang mit einer Förderung des Ganzjahrestourismus genannt und als Möglichkeit gesehen, die Winter- bzw. Schneeabhängigkeit von Alpendestinationen zu verringern. Solche schneeunabhängigen Angebote scheinen vor allem für Destinationen in tieferen Höhenlagen eine geeignete Möglichkeit zu sein, sich an die veränderten klimatischen Bedingungen anzupassen und eine Saisonverlängerung in den Sommer und Frühherbst hinein zu erzielen (Müller und Weber 2007; Müller et al. 2007; Scott und McBoyle 2007; Siegrist und Gessner 2011; Clivaz et al. 2012).
