  • Event Study Hypothesis Testing

    Hello Community,


    in the recent days I was able to read a lot of questions and helpful ansewrs in statalist.

    However, I was not able to completly solve my problem, which I briefly want ot introduce in the following:

    I want to replicate an event study, which shows effects of a specific event (regulation) on a business key figure "days sales outstanding" (DSO). Therefore I want to analyze yearly panel data providing the DSO of several businesses over a period of time and by detect abnormal performance between the control group and the sample group.

    I want test the hypotheses by examining whether a firm affected by the treatment (regulation) had abnormal performance in terms of account receivable days.

    I already managed created a sample group and a control group with the respective treatment variable by using a matching technique with the help of code snippets provided by Clyde Schechter

    Now I am trying to calculate the abnormal performance between the every single time period. e.g. 2000-2001; 2000-2002, ..., 2008-2009 and perform t-tests and WSR-tests on whether the change was significant.

    The abnormal performance AP(t+j) = PS(t+j) - EP(t+j)
    The expected performance EP(t+j) = PS(t+i) + Avg(PCk(t+j)-PCk(t+i))

    AP is the abnormal performance,
    EP is the expected performance,
    PS is the performance of the sample (treated) group
    PC is ther performance of the control (untreated) group

    t=year of regulation (2008)
    i= starting year of comparison (-8,-7,...,+6)
    j= ending year of comparison (-7, -6,...,+7)
    k is the number of control firms


    I want to create a table in the following format

    Period (e.g. 2000-2001) | AP Mean | p-Value (t-test) | p-value (WSR test)


    Would be awesome if some of you could spend some time to help me. I appreciate any form of comment, code, or further support. Please contact me in case you have further questions!

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Welcome to Stata list. You didn't get a quick answer. You will increase your chances of a useful answer by following the FAQ on asking questions-provide Stata code in code delimiters, readable Stata output, and sample data using dataex.

    We don't even really know the format of your data or what variables you are starting with. This makes it hard for us to help you.

    There have been a large number of discussions of event studies on this listserv and there is some software written to do them. Please check them out first.

      Hi Phil,

      thanks for your reply!

      I tried to attacht the variables I am starting with in the screenshot attached. With this data I want to investigate the effects.

      However, I'll try to further check out software, which might help in solving the problem. So far, I tried eventstudytools.com in combination with R, but I wasn't successful.
