The observation period is 71 days, each consisting of an estimation period (60 days) and a window period. using 11 days. This research shows evidence that the capital market in Indonesia has reflected inefficient conditions, especially in the 4 days around the announcement of the Covid-19 national disaster emergency in Indonesia. While the other 7 (seven) days cannot provide opportunities for investors, especially to get significant abnormal returns.

Future researchers can complement it by using different models or comparing between models in measuring abnormal returns.
