Olympics - the DB Debate

The 2012 London Olympics are nearly upon us.  As is to be expected, the government is prattling on about the economic benefits of the games and how the nation will become inspired to be healthier as a result of watching all those McDonald's adverts!  However, I want to focus on something more important than this - the GB football team.

They do so by looking at how stocks of these firms reacted to the announcement that he was a nominee for Treasury Secretary in November 2008. They find that there were large abnormal returns for connected firms. Below is the paper's abstract and the full paper is available here . The announcement of Timothy Geithner as nominee for Treasury Secretary in November 2008 produced a cumulative abnormal return for financial firms with which he had a connection. This return was about 6% after the first full day of trading and about 12% after ten trading days. There were subsequently abnormal negative returns for connected firms when news broke that Geithner's confirmation might be derailed by tax issues. Excess returns for connected firms may reflect the perceived impact of relying on the advice of a small ne...
