Abstract: Based on a comprehensive overview of insider trading and its enforcement in China, this paper explores the relationship between political networks and insider trading. In contrast to Western countries, where political connections encourage insider trading through reducing litigation risk, we find that in China — a “harmonious society” that values loyalty, implicitness, reciprocity, and cooperation — firms with strong political networks are less likely to use insider trading to preserve political favor if it is more lucrative than insider trading. On the other hand, consistent with the literature, when firms do trade on inside information, the information advantages from political connections lead to higher capital gains.
