| Tiivistelmä: | This paper is the first to look directly at the reaction of the London market to company announcements of changes to employee count. Using event study methodology, the authors examine market reactions to 54 redundancy announcements during the period 1990- 1999 and 52 announcements of new jobs during the period 1993-1999. In line with previous US studies the authors find that market reaction, measured by cumulative abnormal returns, is negative before the day of redundancy announcement. The actual redundancy announcement is greeted positively by the market when measured in terms of the mean, but negatively when measured in terms of the median. Thus, in a minority of cases the announcements are seen as value enhancing. |
