Abstract
Event studies have been used in political science to study the cost of regulation (Schwert, 1981), the value of political connections (Roberts, 1990a; Fisman, 2001), the effect of political parties on defense spending (Roberts, 1990b), the importance of rules in congressional committees (Gilligan and Krehbiel, 1988), the reaction of different interests to trade legislation (Schnietz, 2000), how party control in parliamentary systems affects broad-based stock indices (Herron, 2000), the value of defense contracts (Rogerson, 1989), the effect of the political party of the US President and congressional majorities on particular industry segments (Mattozzi, 2008; Knight, 2006; Herron et al., 1999; Den Hartog and Monroe, 2008; Monroe, 2008; Jayachandran, 2006), and other questions.
