BHARModel: Buy-and-Hold Abnormal Returns (BHAR) Model

In EventStudy: Event Study Analysis

Buy-and-Hold Abnormal Returns (BHAR) Model

Description

Implements Buy-and-Hold Abnormal Returns for long-horizon event studies. BHAR compounds returns over the event window instead of summing:

BHAR_i = \prod(1 + R_{i,t}) - \prod(1 + R_{benchmark,t})

The benchmark is the market/index return by default. This model is appropriate for long-horizon studies (months/years) where compounding effects matter.
