The results in the Daily Standardized Abnormal Returns (SARs) table (see Table 2) indicate that the CBAs conducted by the EMAs, on average, create immediate positive market reaction (see mean SAR (0), SAR (+ 1) and median SAR (0)), but generate a negative market reaction in relative longer terms (see mean SAR (+ 4), SAR (+ 6) and other median SARs). A comment worth noting is that the immediate positive abnormal returns are larger in magnitude compared to the negative returns in later days. Despite some evidence of value destruction in Table 2, the resulting mean and median SCARs for all the CBAs in Table 3 reveal significant positive market reaction at all short-term and longer-term SCARs. The above result is consistent with the findings of other multiple-country studies including Bhagat et al. (2011); Rahahleh and Wei (2013) but is in contrast with the results found by Aybar and Ficici (2009).
