Abstract: | It is found that the generally favourable assessment of corporate sell-off decisions is most apparent for closely held firms where insider net-buy activity is prevalent during the prior six-month period. This evidence suggests that insider trader activity and ownership structure information are used by the market in characterization of sell-off decisions as favourable or unfavourable to investors. |
