Abstract:By using the method of case study, this paper empirically studied the difference between family business and nonfamily business on the disclosure of information and the possibilities of insidetrading. The result shows that for the good news, the cumulative abnormal return of family business was significantly higher than the nonfamily business (approximately higher 1.5%) in the 30 window periods before the announcement of the information. It illustrates that family business has a more obvious information leakage problem, the possibility of insider trading is much larger than the nonfamily business. But for the bad news, there is no significant difference between these two different equity structure firms.
