Main _ADJ panel + earnings event windows. Observed = full-window net Sharpe at 10bps; null = within-date score permutation, N=200. Rule: REJECT if placebo p>=0.05; else SIGNAL.

Size calibration (random scores on the H10 event mask)

K=4 masked-noise signals -> p: 0.15, 0.72, 0.52, 0.82; fraction p<0.05 = 0%.

Reading

  • SIGNAL + low corr vs PEAD0 = a distinct event edge; SIGNAL + high corr = shared exposure (PEAD), not incremental.
  • REJECT = the event-window selection adds nothing over random names in the same windows.
