a. insider trading laws

b. anti-trust laws

c. anti-dumping laws

d. tari􏰂ffs

Answer 1

Insider trading deals with Buying and selling the securities (stocks and Bonds) based on information not publicly available.

Tariffs and Anti-Dumping laws focus and appeasing the concerns of producers who find it difficult to compete with Imports.Here the argument is that prices are too low.

This Leaves Anti-trust Laws dating back to the days of Teddy Roosevelt for focus on preventing firm from obtaining undue monopoly power. Here the fear is that prices will be "too high".
