Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to investigate stock market reactions to offences against food safety and reliability. Given the fact that information such as predictions on future performances of a company is accumulated in the stock market, it is possible to analyze social responses against misconducts committed by food-related companies through the share prices of the firms concerned. The time-series-based event study approach is used to study the behavior of the stock returns.
