In the paper, Rogers and Zechman collaborate with the University of Chicago's Douglas J. Skinner to examine whether the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) provides a level-playing field with fair and equal access to public company filings.听 Their findings suggest a small number of investors were receiving unfair timing advantages through a paid subscription that often arrived before the filings were posted to the public website.

鈥淚t was both exciting and gratifying that our study led to an immediate response from the financial press, congress and the SEC.
