摘要：

This study investigates whether uncertain events affect stock market outcomes. To perform a natural experiment, we measure the effect of the uncertain event of Jamal Khashoggi's disappearance on the Saudi Stock Exchange. We use traditional event-study methodologies to analyse the data. The findings indicate that this event supports a downward trend in cumulative abnormal returns across all companies, implying a negative effect of uncertainty on stock returns. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.
