You should have a look at

http://dss.princeton.edu/usingdata/stata/analysis/eventstudy.html

and per the Statalist FAQ, please do not send WinJunk to the Statalist (winmail.dat, etc.) Configure your email program to use plain ASCII text mail without vcards, winmail, etc. If your corporate environment does not permit this, use a free email account like gmail to send to Statalist (but subscribe it first).

I am planning to do an event study for the first time and need some advic=
e.

Before I ask my question, here is what I plan to test-- How does stock ma=
rket reacts to rating announcements?

For my study I have a small sample of 29 companies and there are two anno=
uncements made till now. I have data on these companies from the year 200=
5 till date. I have defined the estimation and event window (3 day event =
window) and calculated abnormal returns for the event windows. Then I cal=
culated cumulative abnormal return by aggregating abnormal return over th=
e window. So basically, I have two cumulative abormal return for each com=
pany (for two announcement). Does the methodology sounds fine? Please adv=
ice.

I am not sure how to test the significance of these abnormal returns?=20
