报告简介：

This study expands upon the seminal work by Hoberg and Maksimovic (2015) on multidimensional financial constraints (FC) by investigating the relationship between FC and insider trading. We analyze a dataset of 51,733 insider purchasing transactions from 2,941 firms that occurred between 2003 and 2015. Unlike previous studies that rely on unidimensional financial constraint measures, we concentrate on two distinct dimensions of financial constraints, specifically the 'equity-focused' and 'debt-focused' constraints proposed by Hoberg and Maksimovic. These dimensions are associated with a firm's challenges in equity and debt issuance, respectively. Our findings reveal different patterns of insider trading between the two types of financially constrained firms. ‘Equity-focused’ constrained firms tend to have less profitable insider trades while ‘debt-focused’ constrained firms have more profitable insider trades. We also find that insiders in ‘equity-focused’ constrained firms purchase more of their own companies’ stocks despite the lower insider trading profitability. However, such purchase deals are associated with more equity financing and reduced financial constraints in the future. Conversely, insider purchase deals in ‘debt-focused’ constrained firms are not associated with future financing or reduction of future financial constraints. Our results suggest insider trading could be motivated by different types of financial constraints in a firm.
