Title: *Insider trading with penalties and BSDEs*
Abstract: We study equilibrium in a continuous time Kyle-Back model with a
risk neutral informed trader whose trades are subject to costs, which can
also be viewed as legal penalties for illegal insider trading if caught by
the authorities. Existence of equilibrium is established under certain
assumptions on the asset’s terminal payoff. Informed trader’s value
function is related to a BSDE whose terminal condition is determined in
equilibrium, which turns out to be the fixed point of a nonlinear operator.
Equilibrium also reveals an interesting connection between h-transforms
and quadratic BSDEs.
