Insider trading by well-connected individuals linked to higher market returns.
Insiders in Europe who are well-connected in networks tend to make trades that impact stock prices. When these insiders buy stocks, the market sees it as valuable information and stock prices go up. When they sell stocks, the negative impact is reduced, leading to smaller price drops. This suggests that insiders use their networks to signal information to the market when they trade, rather than just trying to make a profit for themselves.
