axelperschmann/AbnormalReturns: Computation of abnormal returns with event study methodology

This package implements the event study methodology and abnormal returns in particular. The event study methodology is a common way to study the effects of certain events on stock prices. It thus calculates a so-called abnormal return that measures the impact without confounding influences. As part of this method, one first has to predict a normal return in the absence of the event under study. Afterwards, one calculates the difference between the actual return and the previously predicted normal return, i.e. the abnormal return.
