In this event study, we analyze the effect of market segmentation on stock returns in Europe amid extreme weather events. We show that local institutional ownership (LIO) mitigates the negative effect of the uncertainty from the occurrence of extreme weather events on stock prices.

In a sample with materially exposed industries, we find a negative risk-adjusted abnormal return of 99 basis points for storms on the event date.
