Article Abstract:
Insider trading in financial markets is affected by regulatory framework. Empirical evidence shows that the degree of insider trading in fixed-odds market that imposes lesser costs on insider activity tend to be twice as great as in the spread market which imposes higher costs. Such evidence support a hypothesis which correlate the implementation of tighter strictures against insider trading to a much lesser degree of insider activity in a financial market.

Endogenous instability in financial markets
Article Abstract:
Derivative instruments affect the stability of financial markets contradicting various claims by people who believe in the efficiency of such kind of market. It affects the market equilibrium through the change in stock prices and price cycles upon trading. The known cause is said to be the ample part that equity derivatives play in the market, opposing the finding that instability is a result of market discontinuity.
