Does a nearby split change this? (event study)
Prices already use split-adjusted values (see the correction note on the event-study page), so a split should not distort the return by itself. This checks something extra: whether excluding filings that happen to fall near a real split — for the noise a split day can bring (order-book resets, speculative interest) beyond the price adjustment itself — changes the result. Four exclusion windows, same convention as the monthly panel's split scenarios.
It doesn’t change anything. Only 0.1% of events fall within three days of a confirmed split, and the result is essentially identical whether that handful is excluded or not (t stays between 7.9 and 8.2 across all four windows for window D). The finding in "A faster horizon" was never a split artifact to begin with.
