Abstract Based on the related theories of Insider trading and the samples of top manager selling on GEM from 2010 to 2012, the relationship between abnormal returns gained by top manager selling and corporate governance environment is examined. The empirical results indicate that top managers could gain significant abnormal return from their selling, and the profitability is negatively correlated with the quality of the information disclosure, while the relationship with regional law environment, government intervention and market process is insignificant. The result shows that good internal corporate governance could curb the self-interested behavior of top managers when they are trading, in comparison, external corporate governance environment could not deter top managers getting abnormal return.
