The Act is expected to have negative impacts on stock market returns of construction companies and real estate market. Using event study method, this study examines the stock market reactions to the announcements of the legislature policy. This study explores the relation between the stock cumulative abnormal returns (CAR) of the Act and firm characteristics. This study finds that the stock market reacts negatively when the news of the Act are released. The regression results indicate when the news of the Act are released, for construction companies, CARs are negatively related with inventory-to-total assets ratio, corporate size and growth. This study also finds the construction companies’ revenue reflected the negative impacts on real estate market.
