This paper addresses the issue of how insider trading rules affect price formation in securities markets and suggests the application of information theory to market microstructure theory. We analyze a variant of the setting in [20] by simply introducing a more general criterion for informational efficiency borrowed from information theory — namely maximum information transmission. The analysis shows that both the insider's optimal trading strategy and the market price of the risky security depend on the insider trading restriction. Insider trading restrictions are reported to be detrimental to the liquidity of the securities market. We find that a unique insider trading rule exists which implements semi-strong form informational efficiency of the securities market. Alternative restrictions on insider trading give rise to either underreaction or overreaction in securities prices. Too strict insider trading rules are shown to account for excess volatility in securities prices. Contrary to common notion, the uninformed investors are shown to be hurt by too restrictive insider trading rules. We conclude that loose insider trading rules are preferred by the group of investors as a whole.

This work confirmed the hypotheses about the influence of the mood index on Twitter on the pricing of art objects and the difference between the experts' estimations and the final price of the auction. The hypotheses were tested with the use of a sample of 83 paintings selected on the basis of ratings of ARTNET's online resource about the most expensive works of art ever sold in the last 10–15 years. The sample consisted of 25 artists, for each of them was made an index of moods on Twitter. This index was created by a sentimental analysis of each tweet about the artist on the hashtag for a period of 2 to 4 months between the announcements of sales in the open sources and the direct sale of the work with the use of the two dictionaries AFINN and NRC.
