Note(s): CAR = cumulative abnormal return. NATO = a dummy variable that takes one for NATO member countries and 0 otherwise. SIZE = Logarithm of market capitalization. BSIZE = Number of Director. INF = Inflation rate. GDP = GDP per capita. The ordinate represents the event window. ***, **, and * are significant at 1%, 5%, and 10% confidence levels, respectively. The model uses the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimation technique with robust standard errors
