Dear Statalist,

I am trying to run an event study using stata "db eventstudy" (eventstudy commandà

After running the following code :

. eventstudy using "C:\Users\Najiba\Nouveau dossier\result.dta", event_file_name("C:\Users\Najiba\Documents\event_f ile ED.dta") trade_file_name("C:\Users\Najiba\Documents\TRADING FILE RI RM.dta") rit(mv) rmt(rm) firm_id(company) trade_date(date) event_id(event_id) event_control(nom) event_firm_id(company) event_date(event_date) event_window_st(-3) event_window_end(2) est_window_st(-200) est_window_end(-10)

I get the following message error :


file d:\temp\before_event_1.txt could not be opened

r(603);


I've made different research but I have no idea what it really mean.

Thanks a lot for your time and answer,

Najiba
