Hello everyone, I am trying to use the eventstudy2 for my thesis and came across the issue that the security return and market return of the arfile do not match with the original files, i.e., thesis_security_return_excess and thesis_3factors. I have included an extract of the generated file and other related files below. For some reasons, the return(ri) of the arfile do not match with the one in the security return file (thesis_security_return_excess) and there are missing values in the MKT column of the arfile but not in the original factor file (thesis_3factors). I wonder what would be the possible reasons causing this issue.
I have used the following syntax to execute the package
cd "C:\Desktop\factor model"
use "thesis_event_data.dta",clear
eventstudy2 symbol date using thesis_security_return_excess,returns(ri) model(FM) marketfile(thesis_3factors) marketreturn(MKT) evwlb(-1) evwub(10) eswlb(-120) eswub(-20)
The result of the arfile generated by eventstudy2
date symbol ri MKT original_event_date _BETA AR
