Insider trading: how well do you understand the current status of the law?

Article Abstract:

While still a major topic of discussion, insider trading has not been formally defined, nor is it specifically prohibited by federal statutes. Instead, the courts have been delegated the task of defining insider trading. This article provides readers the opportunity to test their understanding of insider trading by responding to several scenarios raising potential insider trading problems. The scenarios are derived from litigated cases and require the application of judicial rules involving insider trading. Your responses to each scenario can be compared to those of a sample of stockbrokers, MBA students, and undergraduate students. This article is based on a study by the authors that was presented in testimony before the U.S. Senate Securities Subcommittee in their attempt to statutorily define insider trading.

Why the Japanese don't export more pharmaceuticals: health policy as industrial policy

Article Abstract:

Japan has the second largest single-country market for pharmaceutical products in the world but is one of the lowest exporters among the major producer countries, with only about 3% of total production going to exports for most of the postwar period. Imports continue to exceed exports by about a three-to-one ratio. This article shows how domestic public policies nurtured and promoted the Japanese pharmaceutical industry and created a domestic focus through a highly regulated market with government-set prices. Health policy in effect has served as implicit industrial policy. In the 1980s, as a result of changes in health policy combined with changes in business strategy, the Japanese pharmaceutical industry emerged as a global competitor.
