Hello Simone,
Maybe you could check Johnson's corrected t-test (see help johnson and Stata Technical Bulletin STB-26 (sg40).

> I am implementing an event study and testing absolute(!) abnormal returns since I cannot classify the news (positive or negative). Now I am trying to find a cross-sectional test for detecting abnormal returns on the event date. In a paper I read that the author implemented the Wilcoxon-signed-rank-test for the event date. But this test assumes a symmetric distribution, or am I mistaken? Since absolute abnormal returns will not be symmetric (something close to a half-normal-distribution) I am therefore looking for a test that does the trick to avoid the symmetry assumption and still detects abnormal performance.
