本研究主要探討近二年重大自然災難性事件及非自然重大事件是否會對台灣上市上櫃企業之價值產生重大影響,並另外探討台灣股票市場是否符合半強式效率市場假說。研究方法採事件研究法,研究期間為2010年至2012年共二年間之重大自然災難性事件及非自然重大事件,以事件研究法之市場模式來計算事件日後之標準化平均異常報酬、標準化累計平均異常報酬進行檢定來驗證假說。 實證結果顯示,當發生自然重大事件與非自然重大事件時,企業價值會隨著投資人的判斷與決策影響,因而造成股票之波動。自然重大事件與非自然重大事件所造成反應程度也不相同。 而效率市場部分,事件發生後,僅部分產業股票符合半強式效率假說,本研究推論可能因台灣股票市場設有7%之漲跌幅之限制,導致股票價格無法迅速反應至合理之價格。
The study mainly explores whether major natural disaster events and non-natural major events in recent two years have generated significant effect on value of public listed companies in Taiwan. The study also examines whether stock market in Taiwan is in compliance with semi-strong efficient market hypothesis. Event study methods is applied to major natural disaster events and non-natural major events over the past two years and standardized average abnormal returns and standardized cumulative average abnormal returns subsequent to event dates are computed by market model to examine hypothesis. Empirical test results show that when major natural disaster events and non-natural major events take place, companies’ value will be affected by investors’ judgment and decisions, causing stocks to fluctuate. The extent of response resulted from both events is not the same. In the part of efficient market, after the events occur, only part of the stocks is in compliance with semi-strong efficient hypothesis. The study induces that such partial compliance is probably due to the 7% limit on stock price fluctuation set in Taiwan stock market so that stock price cannot rapidly respond to reasonable price.
