| 摘 要： | By utilizing the mean adjusted return model of the event study, this paper examines the announcement-period abnormal returns of a sample of 44 divestitures of China＇s listing companies completed during 1998-2002. The findings are that sample firms have positive cumulative average abnormal returns in the event windows of [-1, ＋1] and [0, ＋7], and that, as for any individual firm, almost half of the sample firms get positive cumulative abnormal returns in a narrow event window. Those results show that the corporate divestitures of China are able to increase shareholders＇ wealth in a short period around the announcement date.
