Paper Summary:

This is a research paper on insider trading from a "Utilitarian" ethical point of view. The author discusses types of insider trading, the Utilitarian theory of Ethics and the arguments for and against insider trading.

From the Paper:

"Insider Trading generally refers to the buying or selling of financial instruments (usually in the stock market) on the basis of privileged information that is known to a restricted group of people. Debate has raged among economists, traders, businesspersons, philosophers and even the general public for many years about the rights and wrongs of insider trading practice. No consensus seems to have emerged yet. In this paper we would be looking at the practice of insider trading from the utilitarian ethical point of view and try to determine whether the practice is morally justified."
