Don’t let my Heart bleed! : An event study methodology in Heartbleed vulnerability case.Lioupras, Ioannis, Manthou, Eleni January 2014 (has links)
Due to the rapid evolution of technology, IT software has become incredibly complex. However the human factor still has a very important role on the application of it, since people are responsible to create software. Consequently, software vulnerabilities represent inevitable drawbacks, found to cost extremely large amounts of money to the companies. “Heartbleed” is a recently discovered vulnerability with no prior investigation that answers questions about the impact it has to the companies affected. This paper focuses on the impact of it on the market value of the companies who participated in the vulnerability disclosure process with the help of an event study methodology. Furthermore our analysis investigates if there is a different affection to the value of the company based on the roles those companies had in the process. Our results suggest that the market did not punish the companies about the existence of vulnerability. However the general negative reaction of the market to the incident reflects the importance of a strategic vulnerability disclosure plan for such cases.

An Integrative Approach for Examining the Determinants of Abnormal Returns: The Cases of Internet Security Breach and Ecommerce InitiativeAndoh-Baidoo, Francis Kofi 01 January 2006 (has links)
Researchers in various business disciplines use the event study methodology to assess the market value of firms through capital market reaction to news in the public media about the firm's activities. Capital market reaction is assessed based on cumulative abnormal return (sum of abnormal returns over the event window). In this study, the event study methodology is used to assess the impact that two important information technology activities, Internet security breach and ecommerce initiative, have on the market value of firms. While prior research on the relationship between these business activities and cumulative abnormal return involved the use of regression analysis, in this study, we use decision tree induction and regression.For the Internet security breach study, we use negative cumulative abnormal return as a surrogate for damage to the breached firm. In contrast to what has been reported in the research literature, our results suggest that the relationship between cumulative abnormal return and the independent variables for both the Internet security breach and ecommerce initiative studies is complex, often involving conditional interactions between the independent variables. We report that the incomplete contract theory is unable to effectively explain the relationship between cumulative abnormal return and the organizational variables. Other ecommerce theories provide support to the findings from our analysis. We show that both attack and firm characteristics are determinants of damage to breached firms.Our results revealed that the use of decision tree induction presents additional insight to that provided by regression models. We illustrate that there is value in using data mining techniques to study the market value of e-commerce initiative and Internet security breach and that this approach has applicability in other domains and that Decision Tree can enhance the event study methodology.We demonstrate that Decision Tree induction can be used for both theory building and theory testing. We specifically employ Decision Tree induction to test and enhance ecommerce theories and develop a theoretical model for cumulative abnormal return and ecommerce. We also present theoretical models for Internet security breach and damage to the breached firm. These models can be used by decision makers in Internet security and ecommerce investments strategic formulations and implementations.

台灣股票市場除權效應之實證研究 / The Empirical Result on Dividend Effect of Taiwan Stock Market盧偉文 Unknown Date (has links)
參考從2001到2005在台灣股市的股息對股票的影響的研究,在根據event-study and SAR method這兩種方式之實證研究可以得到本次的台灣股市裡面除權的效應。 / Referring to our research into the ex-dividend effects on stocks traded on TSE from 2001 to 2005, we come to the following conclusions under the event-study and SAR method. There should be negative ARs on the three days prior to the ex-date and a positive AR on the ex-dividend day, no matter in a bear or bull market. Stocks with cash-only dividends present lower ARs on the three days prior to the ex-date and the ex-dividend day while stock-only dividend ones suffer from higher ARs. The performances of stocks with balanced dividends are just in-between. The most significant ex-dividend effects turn up when it comes to stocks which go ex-dividend in season, with a positive CAR to the seventh day after the ex-date. On the other hand, the effects on the early-ex-dividend stocks exhibit insignificance generally. Later-ex-dividend stocks demonstrate the lowest fluctuation of ARs. However, the simultaneous decline of the index in the ex-dividend season is likely to result in higher-significant ARs. In terms of industry, the ex-dividend effects on electronic companies are more significant than on non-electronic companies. Given a bear market, there used to be negative CARs on electronic companies after shareholders’ meeting; on the contrary, in a bull market, there were positive CARs.

Malus-systemet : En kvantitativ studie om huruvida avskaffandet av bonusen i bonus-malus-systemet har påverkat konsumtionen av miljöbilarLarsson, Pontus, Ärnlöv, Jakob January 2023 (has links)
1 juli 2018 lanserades bonus-malus-systemet i Sverige i syfte att öka andelen miljöbilar i den svenska fordonsflottan. Den 8 november 2022, valde regeringen att avskaffa bonusen i systemet, då man menade att marknaden nu hade åtgärdat de problem som systemet var till för att lösa. Den här studien ämnar att undersöka om avskaffandet av bonusen i bonus-malus-systemet har påverkat konsumtionen av miljöbilar. Detta genom att använda sig av en Event study-metodik där en dynamisk paneldataanalys genomförs för att skatta hur andelen miljöbilar har förändrats över tid för att sedermera predicera för hur denna andel hade sett ut om bonusen kvarblivit. Resultatet visar att den faktiska andelen miljöbilar har minskat efter bonusens avskaffande med 15.5 procent. Storleken av effekten bör undersökas vidare av framtida studier då förlängda leveranstider påverkat resultaten och med all sannolikhet dämpat effekten. Däremot bedömer studien att regeringen högst troligt hade fel i sitt uttalande att slopningen av bonusen inte skulle ge några effekter på bilmarknaden. / On July 1, 2018, the bonus-malus system was implemented in Sweden to promote the use of environmentally friendly vehicles. However, on November 8, 2022, the government decided to abolish the bonus, arguing that the market had resolved the issues the systems intended to address. This study investigates the impact of removing the bonus on the consumption of environmentally friendly vehicles. Employing an Event Study Methodology, a dynamic panel data analysis was conducted to assess the change in the vehicle share over time and predict its size if the bonus had remained. The findings reveal a 15.5 percent decrease in the share of environmentally friendly vehicles following the abolition of the bonus. The magnitude of the effect could be further examined in future studies as delivery times have influenced the results and likely dampened the effect. In contrast to the government's claim that the bonus's elimination would not affect the car market, the study concludes that they most likely were mistaken.

Inligtingswaarde van dividendeNortjé, André 11 1900 (has links)
Die studie ondersoek die inligtingswaarde van dividende as 'n moontlike verldaring van
die waargenome aandeleprysreaksie op dividendaankondigings. Twee algemene hipoteses
is getoets, naamlik dat 'n betekenisvolle verandering in 'n maatskappy se dividendbeleid
inligting oor daardie maatskappy se toekomstige verdienste per aandeel bevat, en
tweedens dat hierdie inligting in die reaksie van aandelepryse na die aankondiging van
die verandering gereflekteer word.
Die belangrikste bevindinge is soos volg:
• Die inligting vervat in huidige dividendaankondigings kan nie deur beleggers
gebruik word om die volgende jaar se verdienste per aandeel van 'n maatskappy
te voorspel nie.
Die aandeleprysreaksie op positiewe, negatiewe en neutrale nuus is statisties
beduidend, maar vind hoofsaaklik in dieselfde rigting plaas. Beleggers sou dus nie
die inligting vervat in dividendaankondigings kan gebruik om bogemiddelde
opbrengskoerse te genereer nie.
• Die inligtingswaarde van dividende is dus 'n onwaarskynlike verldaring van die
invloed van 'n maatskappy se dividendbeleid op die waarde van sy gewone
aandele. / This research investigates the information content of dividends as a possible explanation
for the observed share price reaction to dividend announcements. Two hypotheses were
tested, namely that a significant change in a company's dividend policy contains
information on that company's future earnings per share, and secondly, that this
information is reflected in the share price reaction after the announcement of the change.
The most important findings are as follows:
• Investors cannot use the information contained in current dividend
announcements to predict a company's earnings per share for the next year.
• Share price reactions to positive, negative and neutral news are statistically
significant, but will be in the same direction. Hence investors cannot use this
information to generate above-normal returns.
The information content of dividends is therefore an unlikely explanation of the
influence a company's dividend policy has on the value of its ordinary shares. / Business Management / MCom (Sakebestuur)

Är aktiesplit en hit? : En eventstudie på Stockholmsbörsen om aktiesplitar och överavkastningForsberg, Elisabeth, Hurtig, Robert January 2013 (has links)
Syfte: Studien har utrett om aktiesplit genomförda på Stockholmsbörsen under åren 2004-2008 genererat överavkastning och i sådana fall om det har funnits några skillnader i överavkastning beroende på företagens storlek. Teori: Den effektiva marknadshypotesen, framförallt i dess semistarka form, har utgjort en teoretisk referensram för arbetet. Metod: En kvantitativ deduktiv forskningsansats har tillämpats med eventstudiemetodik som grund. Undersökningen behandlar en femårsperiod mellan 2004-2008 där ett urval av 56 stycken splitar mötte uppsatta kriterier. Dessa delades in i tre undergrupper beroende på bolagens kapitalstorlek vid splitgenomförandet. Kursdata för 250 dagar innan spliten och 250 dagar efter har samlats in för berörda bolag med hänsyn till splitdagen. OMXSPI har använts som jämförelseindex. Resultat: Resultatet tillsammans med hypotesprövning visar att överavkastning i samband med aktiesplit har påträffats för hela populationen under mätperioden. Ett möjligt samband mellan storleken på bolag och omfattningen överavkastning har även upptäckts. Den enskilt största överavkastningen uppmättes på splitdagen. Analys: En analys av resultaten pekar på att marknaden uppfattat aktiesplit som en positiv nyhet och i linje med tidigare forskning har det funnits överavkastning i tiden runt en aktiesplit. Vid uteslutande av en undergrupp som inte klarat hypotestestet kunde sambandet mellan företagsstorlek och omfattningen överavkastning till viss del bekräftas som negativt. Slutsats: Investerare har kunnat generera överavkastning i samband med aktiesplit på Stockholmsbörsen mellan 2004-2008. Resultatet tyder på ett negativt samband mellan företagsstorlek och överavkastning, däremot kan inte sambandet bekräftas tillfullo. / Purpose: The study has investigated whether or not stock splits on the Stockholm Stock Exchange during the years 2004-2008 generated positive abnormal return and in such case, has there been any difference in the positive abnormal return depending on firm size. Theory: The efficient market hypothesis, especially in its semi-strong form, has provided a theoretical framework for the essay. Method: A quantitative deductive research approach is applied with event study methodology used as basis. The study concerns a five-year period 2004-2008, where a selection of 56 splits met set criteria. These were divided into three groups depending on their capital size at the split date. The price data for 250 days before the split, and 250 days after were collected for the companies with regard to split day. The same data was collected for OMXSPI that was used as a benchmark. Results: The result together with hypothesis testing shows that positive abnormal return associated with stock split has been found in the overall population. A possible correlation between the firm size and the extent of positive abnormal returns has also been discovered. The single greatest positive abnormal return was measured on the split date. Analysis: An analysis of the results indicates that the market perceived stock split as positive news. There has been a positive abnormal return around the time of a stock split in line with previous research. The exclusion of a subgroup that failed hypothesis test revealed a partly confirmed negative relationship between firm size and the amount of positive abnormal returns. Conclusion: Investors have been able to generate positive abnormal returns in association with stock split on the Stockholm Stock Exchange from 2004 to 2008. The results suggest a negative correlation between firm size and positive abnormal returns, however, the correlation is not fully confirmed.
