DISSERTATION ABSTRACT:

Dissertation: Post Event Period Security Returns and Market Efficiency.

Dissertation Committee: Dr. Der-Ann Hsu (Chair), Dr. Richard D. Marcus, Dr. Mark D Griffiths. (Proposal accepted: November 12, 1992).

Abstract: Three different but related empirical studies are presented in this dissertation. The first empirical study examines the patterns of post event security returns to test market efficiency. The study is conducted on large, medium and small NYSE and AMEX firms. The results of the study show that the post negative (positive) event daily risk-adjusted excess returns are significantly positive (negative), consistent with short-term market overreaction. However, the magnitude of market overreaction is size related. The larger the size of the firm is, the smaller is the market overreaction. The results also suggest that neither the turn-of-the-year effect nor the

day-of-the-week effect can explain post event return reversals. The results, however, do not support short-term market overreaction for sub-sample periods 1/81-12-87 and 1-88-12/91 of large firms and sub-sample period 1/88-12/91 of small firms.

The second empirical study examines the shift hypothesis. The shift hypotheses holds that the systematic shift of closing transaction prices from one end of the bid-ask spread to another is largely responsible for post event return reversals. The results of the study provide evidence consistent with the shift hypotheses, although the shift of transaction prices explains only a very small part of post event return reversals. Finally, the third empirical study examines the pattern of security returns around public information events. The patterns of post event security returns are found to be different for different types public information.
