Good afternoon everyone,
I am completely new to Stata and I have been struggling for many hours trying to find an answer to my question until I decided to address the Stata forum.
I have performed an event study and calculated cumulative abnormal returns (CARs) for both target and acquiring firms, for each day of the event window -5, +5. I would like to display on a line graph, the average CAR for acquirers for each day of the event window and the average CAR for targets on another graph. Could you please help me figure out a command line to perform such action. I would be also curious to know the command to show both the acquirer and target on the same graph.
Please find attached a screenshot of what my dataset looks like: the variable "event_day" should be used for the x-axis, and "car" for the y-axis.
Please find also attached of the kind of output I am trying to reach.
Thank you very much for your help.
