| Abstract | We present a dynamic trading model that assumes traders face not only asymmetric information but also heterogeneous prior beliefs under a mandatory public disclosure requirement. We find that the overconfident insider chooses to trade in an alternating way in the sense that he underreacts to his information in the first period, overreacts in the second, underreacts in the third, overreacts in the fourth, and so on. The irrational insider trades in this way not only to dissimulate his information but also to equalize his profits across periods. The coexistence of public disclosure and heterogeneous prior beliefs leads to large and fluctuant trading volumes, and the more underconfident the insider is, the greater is the degree of fluctuation. Also, contrarian and momentum trading arise en-dogenously as a result of the insider's irrationality and the public disclosure. Finally, we present the economic explanation for our model by giving the Granger causality relationship between the amended price series and the insider's trading order series. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc.
