The result on Kolmogorov-Smirnov test has shown that average abnormal return and cumulative average abnormal return data is normally distributed. By Paired Sample Test, the result of average abnormal return shows that the phenomena are not significantly impacting because there is no significant difference on average abnormal return before and after Palu Donggala tsunami earthquake.
