Research Topic -Research focus on event studies in economics, finance, marketing and law
Event studies have application in many areas for measuring the impact of an event on stock returns and systematic risk around the time of an event. Typical events are mergers and acquisitions, earnings announcement, financing decisions, government regulations, assessment of insider trading and market manipulation, demonetisation, covid-19, election results, exit polls, monetary policy. Some events have firm specific impact and some have market wide impact. Event studies are joint tests of market efficiency and a model of expected returns.
The proposed study intends to look into the impact of economic events on firms' returns in the short term and firms' performance in the long run. The study also intends to find the impact of political connectedness on these results.
