Covid-19 pandemic and spillover effects in stock markets: A financial network approach

ABSTRACT: This paper examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on 51 major stock markets, both emerging and developed. We isolated the countries susceptible to shock transmissions, and evaluated countries with immunity, during the lockdown. Specifically, using dependence dynamics and network analysis on a bivariate basis, we identify volatility and contagion risk among stock markets during the COVID-19 pandemic. The empirical findings add to the existing body of literature, given that previous work has not placed emphasis on network topologic metrics when it comes to financial networks, specifically during the COVID-19. The evidence shows instant financial contagion a result of the lockdown and the spread of the novel coronavirus. The methodological framework outlines important information for investors and policymakers on using financial networks to improve portfolio selection, by placing an emphasis on assets according to centrality.

Stock markets and the COVID-19 fractal contagion effects.

Project description:This article investigates the fractal contagion effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the stock markets. The stock market information of the top 32 coronavirus affected economies (as of 31st March 2020) was sampled for ex-ante and ex-post COVID-19 outbreak analysis using the Detrended Moving Cross-Correlation Analysis (DMCA) and Detrended Cross-Correlation Analysis (DCCA) techniques. The results confirm a fractal contagion effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the stock markets. Furthermore, this fractal contagion effect fizzles out over time (in the middle and long run) for both the stock markets return and volatility. Therefore, this article provides pieces of evidence for the COVID-19 fractal contagion effect on the stock markets.

Research on the dynamic spillover of stock markets under COVID-19-Taking the stock markets of China, Japan, and South Korea as an example.

Project description:Examining stock market interactions between China (mainland China and Hong Kong), Japan, and South Korea, this study employs a framework that includes 239 economic variables to identify the spillover effects among these three countries, and empirically simulates the dynamic time-varying non-linear relationship between the stock markets of different countries. The findings are that in recent decades, China's stock market relied on Hong Kong's as a window to the exchange of price information with Japan and South Korea. More recently, the China stock market's spillover effect on East Asia has expanded. The spread of the crisis has strengthened co-movement between the stock markets of China, Japan, and South Korea.

Stock market response to COVID-19 pandemic: A comparative evidence from two emerging markets.

Project description:This paper presents the first comparative study of emerging stock markets' response to the COVID-19 pandemic with evidence from Ghana and Botswana. Using daily time-series data from March 1, 2020, to September 30, 2021, the study estimates parametric, semi-parametric and non-parametric models, and provides evidence to support the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (i.e., the total number of reported COVID-19 cases and deaths) on the stock market performances of Ghana and Botswana. Interestingly, the study shows that the impact of the pandemic on Ghana's stock market is quantitatively greater than the stock market of Botswana. The study calls for fiscal and monetary policies to help firms on the stock market to survive the shock. Going forward, measures aimed at building a robust stock market to withstand such external shocks are critical.

Stock markets' reaction to COVID-19: Cases or fatalities?

Project description:In this paper, we examine the stock markets' response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Using daily COVID-19 confirmed cases and deaths and stock market returns data from 64 countries over the period January 22, 2020 to April 17, 2020, we find that stock markets responded negatively to the growth in COVID-19 confirmed cases. That is, stock market returns declined as the number of confirmed cases increased. We further find that stock markets reacted more proactively to the growth in number of confirmed cases as compared to the growth in number of deaths. Our analysis also suggests negative market reaction was strong during early days of confirmed cases and then between 40 and 60 days after the initial confirmed cases. Overall, our results suggest that stock markets quickly respond to COVID-19 pandemic and this response varies over time depending on the stage of outbreak.

How have the dependence structures between stock markets and economic factors changed during the COVID-19 pandemic?☆

Project description:This study investigates how the dependence structures between stock markets and economic factors have changed during the COVID-19 pandemic using the dynamic model averaging approach. A series of economic factors such as commodity markets, cryptocurrency, monetary policy, international capital flows, and market uncertainty indices are considered. We find that the importance of economic variables and the sign and size of their coefficients are significantly different from those before the COVID-19 pandemic. The stock markets are most influenced by economic factors during the COVID-19 outbreak.

The COVID-19 pandemic and financial markets in Central Europe: Macroeconomic measures and international policy spillovers

Project description:This paper investigates the effects of macroeconomic policy announcements on financial markets in three Central European economies: Czechia, Hungary, and Poland (CE–3). We focus on the unprecedented stabilisation policies implemented from March to December 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, including unconventional monetary measures and large stimulus programs. Detailed categories of monetary and fiscal measures are introduced into vector autoregressions with exogenous regressors and dynamic conditional correlations, which we estimate using daily data. This allows us to control for policy spillovers from abroad, as well as global risk factors and pandemic-related variables. We find that, in general, macroeconomic policy measures implemented in the CE–3 countries played an important role in stabilising financial markets during the pandemic. We uncover several notable patterns in the reaction of markets to anti-crisis measures across the region. The impact of the monetary policy announcements on 10-year sovereign bond yields was more substantial than on stock market returns and exchange rate returns. The communication of the unconventional tools proved effective in lowering the bond yields. Interestingly, we document that the effects of non-standard measures for some variables, such as the exchange rate, can be qualitatively different from those resulting from a conventional monetary expansion. Even though the domestic monetary events became more important than the fiscal ones, the latter proved relevant for financial market returns, especially when large-scale immediate fiscal measures and tax deferrals were introduced. We also show that the CE–3 economies were subject to the cross-border transmission of policy announcement effects from the Euro Area and the US, although the magnitude of these effects was smaller than expected and varied across the CE–3 countries.

How stock markets reacted to COVID-19? Evidence from 25 countries.

Project description:The objective of this paper is to analyse how COVID-19 related government policies influenced stock markets. Of the 25 countries we consider, stock returns did not react to any of the three policies - the stimulus package, lockdown, and travel ban in 20% of countries. For around 48% of countries, the effect on returns was negative, due largely to the stimulus package and lockdown policies. Of the 13 countries that experienced a change in the cash rate, returns were negative for 46% of the markets. The travel ban had the least effect on stock returns.

Stock markets' reaction to Covid-19: Moderating role of national culture.

Project description:Recent literature reports stock markets around the world reacted to the Covid-19 pandemic with negative returns. However, this reaction was not uniform across countries. In this paper, we postulate that the national-level uncertainty avoidance, which determines how sensitive members of a nation are to uncertainty, moderates the stock markets' reaction to the pandemic. Using daily data of Covid-19 confirmed cases and stock market returns from 43 countries, we find robust evidence that the decline in stock market returns in response to one percent increase in growth in confirmed cases is stronger for the countries with higher national-level uncertainty aversion.

Dataset of discourses about COVID-19 and financial markets from Twitter.

Project description:In this data article, a collection of 11,625,887 tweets on the topic of the COVID-19 pandemic are provided. The data from Twitter were collected through Twitter API from January 2020 to June 2020. In addition, we also provided subsets of tweets containing discourses on both COVID-19 and financial topics. In order to facilitate the research on sentiment analysis, the Sentiment140 dataset containing 1,600,000 tweets that were annotated as positive or negative sentiment was also provided (Go et al., 2009) We used Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) algorithm to transform documents to numeric vectors and used logistic regression classifier to train and predict sentiments of tweets. These datasets may garner interest from data science, economists, social science, natural language processing, epidemiology, and public health groups.

Risk transmissions between sectoral Islamic and conventional stock markets during COVID-19 pandemic: What matters more between actual COVID-19 occurrence and speculative and sentiment factors?

Project description:Being the health pandemic with the highest impact on the global financial market, the recent COVID-19 pandemic has led to significant risk transmissions across stock markets. Although an increasing number of studies have examined the effects of the pandemic on financial markets, we provide novel insights into the volatility connectedness between conventional and Islamic stock markets. First, the analysis is conducted at the sectoral level, considering nine sectors for each category. Second, a greater novelty is applied by determining if the actual COVID-19 occurrence or speculations or sentiments raised by it is responsible for the connectedness. Summarily, findings show that markets are strongly connected. In addition, the Technology and Utilities sectors of both stock market types, and the Oil and Gas conventional stocks are the net receivers of volatility shocks. On average, however, Islamic markets tend to be more immune to the pandemic than conventional markets. Finally, both causal factors considered significantly affect the connectedness measures, although the effect is heterogeneous and stronger for the speculative/sentiment indicators. These findings provide appropriate policy clues for both investors and policy makers.
