Event Study Methodology

The impact of the Greek political elections on the return and volatility of the Athens Stock Exchange (ASE) is investigated using both the standard event study methodology and various univariate GARCH models. The empirical results reveal positive pre- and post-election abnormal returns, but negative on the day of the election. Strong evidence is also found that suggests that the election outcome significantly affects the ASE return; however, the evidence is rather limited for the ASE volatility. The empirical findings raise doubts about the efficiency of the Greek stock market and might have important implications for investors with respect to decisions regarding entering and/or exiting the market or investment strategies around time periods where political elections are going to take place

Demonetization is the act of eradicating a currency unit from circulation. Indian economy witnessed this on 8 November 2017 when Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that the two highest denomination currency notes, that is, ₹500 and ₹1,000 ceased to be legal tender. As most of the transactions in the country are based on cash only, the announcement resulted into huge hue and cry nationwide. It was estimated that approximately 86 per cent of cash was washed off from circulation. The currency notes that were rendered invalid were replaced by the new currency notes of ₹500 and ₹2,000 later. The article intends to investigate the impact of demonetization on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). An event study methodology has been used to analyse the impact of the announcement on its most important index—S&P (Standard & Poor’s) BSE SENSEX index and the 30 top trading stocks which comprise S&P BSE SENSEX. The study period is divided into pre- and post-demonetization announcement. The empirical results indicate that there was no striking impact of the demonetization announcement on the stock returns during the period of the study.

South–South cooperation has been on the rise in recent years. One of the latest examples is the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) proposed by the Chinese and Pakistani governments in 2013. Using event study methodology, this article examines the impact of events and announcements associated with CPEC on the Pakistan Stock Exchange in Pakistan and the Shanghai Stock Exchange in China. The first key finding of this article is that the initial announcement associated with CPEC had stronger and positive short-term impact on the Pakistan Stock Exchange in comparison with the impact of subsequent CPEC events on the stock market. The second key finding is that the short-term impact of the CPEC initial announcement was stronger on the Pakistan Stock Exchange than on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, possibly due to the substantial difference in the size of the two economies. The empirical results of this article have important implications for investors, corporations and regulators to the Global South.

This paper provides empirical evidence to evaluate the business case of corporate social responsibility. In contrast to former studies, we choose to examine the relationship between corporate social responsibility awards and share prices. We examined this relationship in the contextual setting of Pakistan, where several award schemes are operating to reward CSR performance. An event study methodology was adopted to investigate the impact of award announcement on the abnormal return of TOP 100 companies listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange. A daily price for each company was collected during the estimation window of 120 days before the event window and an event window of 3 days [-1, 0, 1]. Our analysis shows that the overall announcement of CSR awards has an insignificant impact on share price.

<p>We study the impact of dividend policy on the stock return by investigating reaction of the stock price on the dividend announcement date and the ex-dividend date.<strong> </strong>In order to achieve this goal, a sample comprising 1962 observations of dividend-related events from 432 listed companies in Vietnam during the period 2008 to 2015 is chosen to analyze and the event study methodology is used to estimate abnormal returns to the shares around the announcement date and the ex-dividend date. Our results clearly show that the effect of dividend announcement on the stock return is positive around the announcement date. In addition, the stock price moves up as long as the ex-dividend date approaches and then starts decreasing from this date onwards.</p>
