It examines how this change is&amp;nbsp;portrayed in firms’ stock prices returns. The methodologies used are the methodology of event&amp;nbsp;study analysis and bootstrap methodology. Companies selected belong to eight different sectors&amp;nbsp;of Athens Stock Exchange with different Stock Exchange value in order to get a more general&amp;nbsp;picture that does not only represent one sector which can be influenced individually from&amp;nbsp;accidental factors. The sample constitutes forty firms listed in Athens Stock Exchange. Results&amp;nbsp;indicate that corporate events’ impact is important and a key for enterprises to follow new&amp;nbsp;challenges and create financial value. This paper provides evidence on the impact of corporate&amp;nbsp;governance on stock returns in Greece. The implication is that corporate events create financial&amp;nbsp;value.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue></record></records></xml>
