ABSTRACT
The number of published event studies exceeds 500, and the literature continues
to grow. We provide an overview of event study methods. Short-horizon methods are
quite reliable. While long-horizon methods have improved, serious limitations remain.
A challenge is to continue to refine long- horizon methods. We present new evidence that
properties of event study methods can vary by calendar time period and can depend on
event sample firm characteristics such as volatility. This reinforces the importance of
examining event study statistical properties for non-randomly selected samples.
