What is an event study?
An event study measures the impact of aspecific event on the value of a firm (MacKinlay,
1997);
Event studies examine the behavior of firmsstock prices around corporate events (Kothari
and Warner, 2007).

Overview of Event Studies
Event studies examine the effect of some eventor set of events on the value of assets
Loosely speaking, a t-test of the change in price ofsome asset
Unexpectedly large increase or decrease - relativeto standard deviation of typical change

Overview of Event Studies (3)An event study is an attempt to determine whether a
particular event in the capital market or in the life of acompany has affected a companys stock market performance.
The event-study methodology aims to separate company-specific events from market- and industry specific events, andhas often been used as evidence for or against marketefficiency.
An event study aims to determine whether an event orannouncement caused an abnormal movement in acompanys stock price.

Stages of an event study
1. defining the event and the event window;
2. measuring the stocks performance during theannouncement period;
3. estimating the expected performance of the stockduring this announcement period in the absence ofthe announcement;
4. computing the abnormal return and measuring itsstatistical and economic significance.

First stage
Defining the event under investigation; Determining the selection criteria for the
inclusion of a given firm(s) in the study; Identify the period over which the security prices
of the firms involved in this event will beexamined (prior and post- event)

Third stage
Measuring the expected return, the return thatwould have accrued to the shareholders in the
absence of this or any other unusual event Selecting and applying the model of expected
returns

Expected return models 1 The constant expected returns model:
where, Rit is the return for stock i over time periodt, i is the expected return for stock i, and eit is the
usual statistical error term.
16
Rit = i + it

Expected return models 2 The market model:
where, ai and bi are firm-specific parameters, andRmt is the market return for the period t.
17
Ri, t =i + i Rm, t + i, t

Expected return models 3 Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM):
where, Rf is the risk free rate and i is the beta orsystematic risk of stock i.
18
Ri, t = Rf + i (Rm, t Rf ) + i, t

Expected return models 4Arbitrage Pricing Theory:
where, F1, F2,..., Fn are the returns on the n factors
that generate returns, and are the factor
loadings.

Ri, t =0 +i1F1t +i2F2t + ...+inFnt + i, t

Fourth stage The unexpected announcement period return, also
known as the abnormal return, is computed as theactual return minus the estimated expected return.
where ARit, Rit, and E(Rit|X) are the abnormal, observed, andpredicted returns respectively for time period t.
This abnormal return is the estimated impact of theevent on the share value.
20
ARi, t = Rit E(Rit Xt)

Cumulative average abnormal returns (CAR)could be calculated over following different timeintervals [ -1,+1], [ -2,+2], [ -5,+5], [ -10,+10] ..
