Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of 1112 research papers from 2003 to early 2023, sourced from the Web of Science database, to explore insider trading. We identify influential articles and authors, evaluating their impact by citations, publications, and network centrality. We also study the influence and collaboration of authors, institutions, and countries affiliated with the articles. Additionally, we conduct a comprehensive content analysis that reveals insider trading research centers around six major topics, ranging from the information content of insider trading to cross-market analysis. Furthermore, we identify and summarize 29 key observations within these topics, offering valuable insights into the field's core topics and their implications.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
