摘要
Our study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 external shock on the stock return volatility of global firms. Using a sample of 30,516 firms, accounting for 60% of listed firms globally, scattered across 63 countries, we evidence that COVID-19 cases (fatalities) have a positive and significant impact on stock return volatility of global firms, measured at different estimation intervals (windows of 30, 60, 90, 180, and 250 days). In particular, a one standard deviation increase in COVID-19 cases (fatalities) is associated with 0.79% (0.86%) increase in firm volatility. Additionally, we inform that the effect of COVID-19 is amplified for companies from Oceania and Asia. Our insights are advantageous to a wide spectrum of stakeholders, including managers, market participants, and policy makers.
