It could very well be that "event study" is exactly the right term in
your field. My (small) point is that this is an interdisciplinary list
and so it's best to assume, as it were, moderate intelligence and
unlimited ignorance and that people are typically not in your field.
Aiming a question at precisely the people who know exactly what you
are talking about may seem good strategy, but it can also cut out
people who could answer; they just don't know your jargon.
As said, a small point at best.
