Abstract
Abnormal returns from insider trading among members of Congress disappeared in 2012 with the
passage of the STOCK Act. Prior to these regulations, existing literature showed that members of
Congress earned significant abnormal returns. However, there have recently been concerns that certain
members of Congress exploited their information advantages related to the Covid-19 pandemic and
partook in insider trading. Given this development, it is important to reassess if insider trading occurs in
congress. This thesis finds little evidence of widespread insider trading in the US House of
Representatives during the Covid-19 pandemic.
