Does the Study of Business Reduce the Likelihood of Committing Insider Trading?

Abstract

In this study, 347 students at two Christian liberal arts schools and a state university completed a survey after watching a clip from the 1987 film Wall Street. The survey was given to 347 students. Seniors were less likely to respond that they would commit insider trading than were freshmen, and students attending the Christian liberal arts schools, compared with students at the state university, were less likely to respond that they would commit insider trading.
