Hi Ronan,
I got your event study running with Stata 11 and Martin´s help
(remember to "xset id date" before runnig the GARCH estimation- right
before runnig your loop). However, I am not sure whether the command
"predict" after
arch ret market_return if id==`i' & estimation_window==1, arch(1) garch(1)
will give you proper estimtates for Abnormal Returns. Could anybody please
help or comment what the command "predict" after "arch ret
market_return, arch(1) garch(1) returns?
Specifically, are these figures comparable to residuals which are
returned after a usual reg command?
Best,
Kaspar
