The second of our research papers focused on US legislators who potentially used non-public information from the COVID-19 pandemic to inform their stock purchases. We took a look at publicly-available US Representatives Financial Disclosures data to find indications of insider trading by representatives off of the back of their private COVID briefing back in January. While most do not act on this information, we have identified over a dozen representatives that potentially violated the STOCK Act based on the timing and positioning of their transactions.

Another research paper, but one that’s a bit of a departure from our previous works. We took a look at publicly-available US Senate Financial Disclosures data to find indications of insider trading by senators off of the back of their private COVID briefing back in January. Most senators didn’t act on this nonpublic information, but three senators (Burr, Loeffler, Perdue) have some flags raised in their transactions that need to be investigated further.
