The Impact of Market Mood on a Dynamic Model of Insider Trading

According to the research, the proportions of various types of investors may or may not change in response to different trading strategies or complex trading environments. This paper investigates a single-period trading model for multiple risk-averse and risk-neutral insider traders. The distinction is that we consider the impact of the number of risk-averse traders and different types of insider traders on market liquidity. The model contains four types of trading entities: risk-neutral and risk-adverse insider traders, risk-neutral market makers, and noise traders. Firstly, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the model’s linear Nash equilibrium; secondly, we compare the model with multiple risk-neutral and risk-adverse insider traders in the market to the model with only risk-neutral insider traders and risk-adverse insider traders. It is shown that the market liquidity parameter λ decreases with the increase in the number of risk-averse persons N2 in a particular range and increases with the increase in the number of risk-averse persons N2 in another range. Markets with risk-neutral and risk-averse insider traders have consistently lower liquidity than markets with only risk-neutral insider traders. Comparing this to markets with only risk-adverse insider traders reveals that the number of risk-adverse traders heavily influences market liquidity.
