Description
Insider trading potentially reveals proprietary information, allowing rivals to compete more effectively against the insiders' firm. This paper examines whether proprietary costs are associated with insiders' trading decisions and the profitability of their trades. Using a variety of approaches to identify proprietary information risk, I find proprietary costs significantly deter insiders' trading activities. The deterrence effect is more pronounced when insider trading is likely to be more informative to rivals. Specifically, trades by top executives, non-routine trades, and trades at low complexity firms are curbed to a greater extent by proprietary costs. Examining the mechanisms of this deterrence effect, I find firms with higher proprietary costs are more likely to impose insider trading restrictions, and insiders' trading decisions are more sensitive to proprietary costs when they have higher share ownership of the company. These results suggest insiders reduce trading activities not only due to firm policies, but also due to incentive alignment. Finally, when insiders trade despite higher proprietary costs, they earn significantly higher abnormal profits from their purchase transactions. Overall, this study suggests product market considerations are an important factor associated with insiders' trading decisions and profitability of their trades. These findings are likely to be of interest to regulators and corporate boards in setting insider trading policies, and help investors make investment decisions using insider trading signals.

Description中小微企业是社会与经济的基本盘，它们面临的贷款融资难是全世界各国家都长期存在的世界难题，已经成了影响中小微企业经营发展的重要问题。以往的学术研究都指出了融资难的根本影响因素，那就是信息不对称，但是以往的专家学者通常是基于理性经济人的假设前提来开展进一步的影响因素研究，本论文尝试从行为金融学的视角来研究中小微企业融资难问题，研究分析贷款过程中的非理性行为因素，为提升小微贷款可获得性寻求新的思路和解决方法。以中小企业融资理论、信息不对称理论和行为金融理论为基础，结合上市银行的披露数据和问卷调查开展实证研究分析，发现企业和银行在中小微贷款融资过程中都存在非理性行为，产生心理授权效应、锚定效应和确定效应，对小微贷款可得性产生显著影响。
建议通过强化企业信用信息开放共享、提升信息披露、加强政策引导、坚持发挥中小银行对小微企业的服务优势、鼓励银行发展金融科技优化提升服务等多种方式，进一步提升小微贷款可得性，缓解中小微企业融资难问题。
