Abstract
AbstractThis study examines the informed options trading hypothesis before and after the implementation of the Sarbanes‐Oxley Act (SOX). We find that informed option trading, as measured by implied volatility spreads, occurs only in the period before the enactment of this Act but disappears thereafter. Our results suggest that the SOX had a significant impact on informed trading in U.S. option markets.
