摘要
We present a closed-form solution connecting the probability of informed trading ($PIN$PIN) to the overlooked parameter that signaling private information is good or bad. Estimating $PIN$PIN using illegal insider trading data, we find it sensitive to the certainty of positive private information in addition to the existed explanations, offering a new explanation for $PIN$PIN's limitations in prior literature.
