Insider Trading, Informed Trading, and Market Mechanisms: A Comparative Perspective from Taiwan
Get PDFIt is the unsolvable paradox of human nature that makes the research of insider trading law wonderfully but strangely attractive. Although nowadays most countries in the world have an insider trading law, hundreds of thousands of scholars still invest their time and efforts in debating whether the acts of insider trading should be banned, and to what scope should the acts be illegalized. In this dissertation, I will lead the readers to a journey of exploring insider trading law. Particularly, the three main chapters of this dissertation are respectively composed by three related but independent papers on different aspects surrounding the insider trading law of the US and Taiwan. In Chapter 2, I am going to examine the recent development of the US insider trading law imposed on market professionals, from the perspective of both law and financial economics. We are going to see how the US courts assess the dual roles of market professionals —— enhancing the price efficiency of stock prices while exploiting the other investors —— and balance the contribution and harm market professionals bring to the market, when they are drawing the line between the illegal insider trading and lawful informed trading. Chapter 3 of this dissertation moves to examine the insider trading law of my home country Taiwan. In this chapter, the methodology of comparative studies will provide the readers with different lenses through which they can compare the philosophy of a civil law country when dealing with the problem of insider trading. Chapter 4 investigates and develops an empirical methodology that allows a government to test whether its insider trading enforcement is successful compared to other jurisdictions. Specifically, it uses the “pre-announcement price run-up” before the good news arrives at the market as the proxy for measuring the effectiveness of an insider trading law. Chapter 5 concludes
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Where Have all the IPOs Gone? The Hard Life of the Small IPO
No full textVariations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
