Local versus global factors weighing on stock market returns during the COVID-19 pandemic.

ABSTRACT: We use stock market returns and a new, weekly available, GDP tracker to estimate a structural VAR identified with long-run restrictions. We find that global 'news' contribute more than local 'news' shocks to explaining the recent variance of equity returns from developing and small developed countries. Since data do not (yet) point to an increase in financial integration during the current pandemic, our investigations support the alternative that these markets hold too optimistic views on their prospects and future ties with the global economy.

COVID-19 pandemic effect on trading and returns: Evidence from the Chinese stock market.

Project description:Using a daily foreign and institution flows data, this paper studies how institutional and foreign investors respond to the COVID-19 pandemic events in China. The results indicate that during the COVID-19 crisis foreign investors play a market stabilization role showing significant negative feedback trading, whereas institution investors do not stabilize the market. And compared to the pre-COVID-19 period, foreign investors even exhibit stronger negative feedback trading. Further analyses confirm that foreign investors' negative feedback is mainly driven by their response to negative returns. Moreover, both institutional and foreign investors' trading show stronger forecastability of future returns during the pandemic period. And the negative returns after foreigners' selling and positive returns after institutional buying are much stronger during the crisis period.

Market framing bias and cross-sectional stock returns.

Project description:This paper introduces the market framing bias (MFB): a framing effect that affects the return-risk tradeoff under different frameworks of aggregate market losses and profits, which is measured by the absolute difference between betas in the rising and falling markets. The paper finds that the MFB can predict lower future stock return on the cross-section. Specifically, after controlling for various firm-specific characteristics, this predictive power of the FMB declines over time. Furthermore, the predictive power of the FMB is stable in the short term even after controlling for various pricing factors and firm-specific characteristics.

Asymmetric dependence between stock market returns and news during COVID-19 financial turmoil.

Project description:•I investigate the stock market's reaction to coronavirus news in the top six most affected countries by the pandemic.•The fake news exerts a negative nonlinear influence on the inferior and the middle quantiles throughout the distribution of returns.•The media coverage leads to a decrease in returns across middle and superior quantiles and has no effects on the inferior ones.•During COVID19 turmoil superior quantiles of returns distribution exhibit negative dependence on past performances, while inferior and middle quantiles are not affected by this phenomenon.•The gold return has a positive correlation with the stock markets, which amplifies during extreme bearish and bullish periods indicating that it does not behave as a "Safe Havens" asset.

Does non-fundamental news related to COVID-19 matter for stock returns? Evidence from Shanghai stock market.

Project description:The COVID-19 outbreak generates various types of news that affect economic and financial systems. No studies have assessed the effects of such news on financial markets. This study sheds light on the impact of non-fundamental news related to the COVID-19 pandemic on the liquidity and returns volatility. Because we examined extreme events, we performed quantile regression on daily data from December 31, 2019 to the end of lockdown restrictions in China on April 7, 2020. Results showed that the non-fundamental news, as the number of deaths and cases related to the COVID-19, raised the stock market returns volatility and reduced the level of stock market liquidity, increasing overall risk, whereas fundamental macroeconomic news remained largely immaterial for the stock market. These findings are explained by a knock-on effect because the health system's inability to manage and treat a high number of COVID-19 patients in intensive care led the country to implement a lockdown and the global economy to largely shut down.

Dataset on share issuance, abnormal returns and market timing in the Brazilian stock market.

Project description:This article presents a dataset to investigate the determinants of firms' decision for primary share issuance and the effects of market timing on primary share issues in the Brazilian stock market. The data refer to Brazilian nonfinancial firms that issued primary shares (IPOs and SEOs) in the 2004-2015 period. The data were gathered from the online bases of Economatica® and the São Paulo Securities, Commodities and Futures Exchange (BM&FBovespa). The final sample was composed of 123 firms and 165 primary share issues: 97 initial public offerings and 68 follow-on offerings. The dataset was developed to support a model that captures market timing behavior through cumulative abnormal returns and shows the effects of this behavior on the amount of proceeds raised. The dataset contains subsamples and different analysis time windows, processed and unprocessed data. Researchers can use the dataset for future research and comparisons with other markets and models. The related research article using part of the current dataset was published under the following title: "Effects of market timing on primary share issues in the Brazilian capital market" (Gomes et al.).

ESG performance, herding behavior and stock market returns: evidence from Europe

Project description:This paper tests how financial performance indicators and combined ESG score for large-cap stocks impact on stock return. In particular, we examine how market capitalization, price to book value, Sharpe ratio and ESG score of large-cap firms in Europe are related to their stock performance. We consider a panel data consisting of six European countries—Portugal, Italy, Greece, Spain, France and Germany—for the period 2010–2020. For Greek and French firms, a firm’s size tends to negatively affect its stock returns. The investors in European countries (except Italy) do not jeopardize their returns by investing in highly ESG scoring firms. We argue that the benefit of not investing in highly ESG-scoring firms might lead investors to select smaller size companies with a higher price to book value and higher Sharpe ratio, as it is more likely to generate higher returns. Moreover, Italian firms are more susceptible to ESG issues, as ESG performance and stock return seem to have a significant negative correlation. This valuable result was confirmed by conducting a robustness test for Europe as a whole using the Euronext100 index. Finally, we find no evidence that ESG motivates herding in our selected sample (this is not the case for Greece and France), while we report evidence of ESG herding behavior during the Covid-19 outbreak in Portugal, Italy and Greece.

Stock market reactions to COVID-19 lockdown: A global analysis.

Project description:The COVID-19 pandemic has caused dramatic changes in the way people around the globe live, and has had a profound negative impact on the global economy. Much of this negative impact did not result from the disease itself, but from the lockdown restrictions imposed to contain the spread of the virus. We investigate how national stock market indices reacted to the news of national lockdown restrictions in the period from January to May 2020. We find that lockdown restrictions led to different reactions in our sample of OECD and BRICS countries: there was a general negative effect resulting from the increase in lockdown restrictions, but we find strong evidence for underreaction during the lockdown announcement, followed by some overreaction that is corrected subsequently. This under-/overreaction pattern, however, is observed mostly during the first half of our time series, pointing to learning effects. Relaxation of the lockdown restrictions, on the other hand, had a positive effect on markets only during the second half of our sample, while for the first half of the sample, the effect is negative.

COVID-19 pandemic and stock market response: A culture effect.

Project description:National culture has been shown to impact the way investors, firm managers, and other financial market participants respond to crisis. To date, however, none has looked at the impact of culture on market responses to disasters. This paper is the first to address the effect of national culture on stock market responses to a global health disaster. We find larger declines and greater volatilities for stock markets in countries with lower individualism and higher uncertainty avoidance during the first three weeks after a country's first COVID-19 case announcement. Our results are robust after controlling for investor fear, cumulative infected cases, the stringency of government response policies, the level of democracy, political corruption, and the 2003 SARS experience, among others.

Volatility spillovers from the Chinese stock market to the U.S. stock market: The role of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Project description:The COVID-19 pandemic, which originated in Wuhan, China, precipitated the stock market crash of March 2020. According to published global data, the U.S. has been most affected by the tragedy throughout this outbreak. Understanding the degree of integration between the financial systems of the world's two largest economies, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, necessitates thorough research of the risk transmission from China's stock market to the U.S. stock market. This study examines the volatility transmission from the Chinese to the U.S. stock market from January 2001 to October 2020. We employ a variant form of the EGARCH (1,1) model with long-term control over the excessive volatility breakpoints identified by the ICSS algorithm. Since 2004, empirical evidence indicates that the volatility shocks of the Chinese stock market have frequently and negatively affected the volatility of the U.S. stock market. Most importantly, we explore that the COVID-19 pandemic vigorously and positively promoted the volatility infection from the Chinese equity market to the U.S. equity market in March 2020. This precious evidence endorses the asymmetric volatility transmission from the Chinese to the U.S. stock market when COVID-19 broke out. These experimental results provide profound insight into the risk contagion between the U.S. and China stock markets. They are also essential for securities investors to minimize portfolio risk. Furthermore, this paper suggests that globalization has carefully driven the integration of China's stock market with the international equity markets.

Sign realized jump risk and the cross-section of stock returns: Evidence from China's stock market.

Project description:Using 5-minute high frequency data from the Chinese stock market, we employ a non-parametric method to estimate Fama-French portfolio realized jumps and investigate whether the estimated positive, negative and sign realized jumps could forecast or explain the cross-sectional stock returns. The Fama-MacBeth regression results show that not only have the realized jump components and the continuous volatility been compensated with risk premium, but also that the negative jump risk, the positive jump risk and the sign jump risk, to some extent, could explain the return of the stock portfolios. Therefore, we should pay high attention to the downside tail risk and the upside tail risk.
