Is There Insider Trading on the Nordic Intra-Day Electricity Market?

In this research paper, Ewa Lazarczyk conducts an empirical investigation of market participants’ reactions to news about sudden production and transmission failures on the electricity grid - so-called urgent market messages (UMMs).
