Abstract: The impact of the Greek political elections on the return and volatility of the Athens Stock Exchange (ASE) is investigated using both the standard event study methodology and various univariate GARCH models. The empirical results reveal positive pre-and post-election abnormal returns, but negative on the day of the election. Strong evidence is also found that suggests that the election outcome significantly affects the ASE return; however, the evidence is rather limited for the ASE volatility. The empirical f… Show more

“…The results of data analysis prove there is a market reaction to the announcement of the election results of the President and Vice President of Indonesia in 2019. The results of this study are consistent with the results of research conducted by Imelda and Anggraeni (2014), Savita andRamesh (2015), Kahn, et al (2015), Koulakiotis, et al (2016), Werth (2016), and Osuala, et al (2018). But it is not consistent with the results of research conducted by Chandra (2015), Kabiru, et al (2015), Sopyana and Yasa (2016), and Iyengar, et al (2017) where political issues do not affect investor decisions.…”

“…The market is expected to react quickly when receiving information available when announcing the results of the general election. Several previous studies that have become empirical evidence of the relationship of political issues to market reactions as measured by abnormal returns were conducted by Imelda and Anggraeni (2014), Savita and Ramesh (2015), Khan, et al (2015), Koulakiotis, et al (2016) and Osuala, et al (2018). The results of these studies prove that political issues make investors able to obtain abnormal returns.…”

“…Tetapi, di hari kedua Indeks ini tidak melanjutkan penguatannya melainkan melemah cukup signifikan ke level 144,092. Secara empiris peristiwa politik lebih berpengaruh dalam jangka pendek dan berkurang dalam jangka panjang (Koulakiotis et al, 2016), dan untuk membuktikan pengaruh dari peristiwa pemilihan presiden tahun 2019 secara kuantitatif masih perlu dilakukan suatu kajian lebih lanjut.…”

Stock volatility also occurred in Greece in political election events (Koulakiotis, Papapanagos, & Papasyriopoulos, 2016). It means that the stock market also responds to current information and even future information, including political events.…”
