Book excerpt: The lasting turmoil associated with the unprecedented pandemic, triggered by the novel corona virus COVID-19, has dragged the world into a mud of uncertainty. Fiscal stimulation, interest rate cuts, global supply-chain redeployment, "pandemic bond" and circuit breakers kicked in and the world is responding to this great challenge. But how can finance and economic research help the world under such circumstances?

By gathering research on political economy, geopolitical issues, behavioral finance, international institutional responses and medical and health issues resulting from pandemics, the chapters in this edited volume help in expanding the knowledge of social and economic consequences of the pandemic as well as set the foundation for future research. This book would benefit scholars, policy makers and entrepreneurs worldwide as a valuable archive of research on pandemics. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Emerging Markets Finance and Trade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Background and Motivation: The coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic, the subsequent policies and lockdowns have unarguably led to an unprecedented fluid circumstance worldwide. The panic and fluctuations in the stock markets were unparalleled. It is inarguable that real-time availability of news and social media platforms like Twitter played a vital role in driving the investors' sentiment during such global shock. Purpose:The purpose of this thesis is to study how the investor sentiment in relation to COVID-19 pandemic influenced stock markets globally and how stock markets globally are integrated and contagious. We analyze COVID-19 sentiment through the Twitter posts and investigate its effect on financial securities movements. Methodology: In order to determine investor sentiment, we used text mining and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to conduct sentiment analysis on COVID-19 related tweets during the year of 2020 and got the daily polarity of those tweets. We employed a GARCH (1,1) model to study the impact of the investor sentiment, assessed by the COVID-19 related tweets, on the stock markets movements globally, in the conditional heteroscedasticity equation. The thesis uses six global stock market indices from developed markets. Duration of the study: 4th of January 2020 - 21st of December 2020 Conclusion: Our results from the GARCH (1,1) models suggest that the investors' sentiment based on the COVID-19 tweets shows significant impact on the conditional heteroscedasticity of the developed markets indices, indicating an impact on volatility and trading volumes of the six developed market indices.

Download or read book Stock Markets Reaction to Covid 19 written by Badar Nadeem Ashraf and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 to 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.

Download or read book Impact of Infodemic on Organizational Performance written by Bari, Muhammad Waseem and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-06-25 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: COVID-19 is not the only global challenge that the world is facing these days. The infodemic, based on the pandemic (COVID-19), is another serious challenge for the world at this time. Each flare-up is joined with a large volume of data and information; however, this data can be based on deception, gossip, rumors, and more. Misinformation not only impacts the human body negatively but also impacts mental health. The infodemic has an impact on human health and professional performance, but also leaks into business organizations in terms of financial matters, employees' psychological and physical health, employee performance, and the organization’s performance. The misinformation regarding health issues can disturb business organizations and affect the employees, organizations’ market share and financial matters, future firing and hiring policies of the organizations, and international operations of the companies. Though the COVID-19 pandemic may be over in time, the impact of the relevant infodemic will continue to disrupt business organizations for several years into the future. Impact of Infodemic on Organizational Performance highlights the impact of the infodemic due to the pandemic (COVID-19) in organizations’ performance and enhances the understanding of how the infodemic can and has negatively impacted employees as well as organizational performance. This is supplemented by a view of how organizations are tackling the infodemic and how business organizations can recover from the lasting negative impacts. This book highlights essential topics such as social media, knowledge management, business environments, business strategies, employee behavior, and mental health. The target audience includes but is not limited to managers, executives, human resource development, counselors, analysts, business organizations, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students who are interested in the impacts of the infodemic on businesses and their employees and the relevant strategies to combat the effects.

Download or read book Introduction to Econophysics written by Rosario N. Mantegna and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-11-13 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book concerns the use of concepts from statistical physics in the description of financial systems. The authors illustrate the scaling concepts used in probability theory, critical phenomena, and fully developed turbulent fluids. These concepts are then applied to financial time series. The authors also present a stochastic model that displays several of the statistical properties observed in empirical data. Statistical physics concepts such as stochastic dynamics, short- and long-range correlations, self-similarity and scaling permit an understanding of the global behaviour of economic systems without first having to work out a detailed microscopic description of the system. Physicists will find the application of statistical physics concepts to economic systems interesting. Economists and workers in the financial world will find useful the presentation of empirical analysis methods and well-formulated theoretical tools that might help describe systems composed of a huge number of interacting subsystems.

Download or read book Stock Markets Reaction to COVID 19 written by Badar Nadeem Ashraf and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 unit increase in growth in confirmed cases is stronger for the countries with higher national-level uncertainty aversion.

Download or read book COVID 19 Government Interventions and Stock Return and Volatility Around the World written by Shuxin Yang and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic has imparted an unprecedented shock on global stock markets. No previous pandemic has left an economic mark as significant as the COVID-19 pandemic, which has now lasted over a year and has brought about substantial changes to daily life, as well as severely impacted stock markets. This paper quantitatively examines indices from 34 stock markets in 2020, finding that returns decreased markedly in most markets during the first quarter of 2020. This study is the first to examine the impact of severity of the pandemic and strictness of government policies. It finds that stock markets of countries with a higher percentage of total infected population are more sensitive to the increase in daily new cases. In addition, countries with less strict rules tend to experience higher volatility in stock markets when governments employ stricter restrictions. This approach can be applied to further research that aims to investigate similar matters. Furthermore, although the pandemic currently shows no sign of passing, the study finds that stock markets reacted positively to measures aimed at controlling the spread of the virus and recovered significantly after the second quarter of 2020. This study also finds evidence that increases in daily new confirmed cases had a significant negative impact on stock markets but only at the onset of the pandemic. This finding suggests that investors overreacted to the pandemic and were not rational.
