tailieunhanh - A new approach in event studies: Time varied analysis

This study proposes a modified market model of event study that takes into account the asynchronous behavior between individual stocks and the stock market by using an added Chebyshev polynomial term. The proposed model takes into account both the macro market performance and the micro individual stock behavior and is empirically tested. | http afr.

The proposed model takes into account both the macro market performance and the micro individual stock behavior and is empirically tested. The empirical analysis results demonstrate that the proposed model improves the explanatory power of the model as well as the heteroskedasticity. More importantly its performance is almost independent of the choice of the events and stocks. Keywords event studies time-related market model Chebyshev polynomials 1. Introduction Since the publication of two papers by Ball and Brown 1968 and Fama et al. 1969 event studies have become very popular in accounting and finance research. As noted by Kothari and Warner 2007 a number of event studies have been published and the literature continues to grow. The majority of event studies are focused on estimations of the impacts of unanticipated events on stock prices. The studies include stock reactions to stock splits .
