[37] provide significant statistical evidence that there is a negative short-term impact on the value of stocks, but this effect decreases rapidly over time.”
- The Economics of Personal Data and the Economics of Privacy (2010, background): “…market value of companies that suffer data breaches or other privacy blunders is negatively affected, such negative effects may be short lived: Acquisti et al. (2006) found a mean abnormal stock market return of -0.6% for affected companies traded in the NYSE during the day past the breach or…”

- Engineering Privacy (2009, background): “In order to protect companies from such volatility in customer perceptions, shown to be relevant to stock-market valuation [6], it may be advisable to build systems and follow privacy policies based on some baseline privacy protection, as described in Sections 4 and 5.”

- The Economics of Information Security (2006, unknown): “conducted a similar analysis for privacy breaches [29].”
