提問：A為什么不對？EVAN沒有抄襲NANCY的文件嗎??? 沒有，請關(guān)注本題的*9句話Evan Schulman, CFA, and Nancy Bishop, CFA, began a joint research report on Star Corporation，中的 joint research ，他可以使用自己和他人的研究報(bào)告作為研究的基礎(chǔ)。如果引用別人的報(bào)告，他只要說明這是來自他人的就可以了，更何況這是Joint research；另外，他到實(shí)地去研究Star，并未提到他使用了Material Nonpublic Information。 如果題目中提到，他沒有說明這是Joint research，他違反了misreprentation.
