  • Description: This study investigates the implications of recognizing skewness preference in the computation of abnormal returns. Replicating the Fama, Fisher, Jensen and Roll study on stock split on a recent data set with a few distinct event study techniques, this study finds that recognition of skewness preference as defined by Kraus and Litzenberger (1976) in the computation of the abnormal returns significantly changes the results in comparison to the results that have been obtained without recognizing skewness
