Using a sample of Taiwan that has customer-supplier relationships, covering 2019 with the ESG Combined score from Refinitiv Eikon, this paper empirically investigates the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and ESG investment on stock return. The empirical results reveal that there’s a negative correlation between stock prices and local COVID-19, and it is not associated with stock prices and supplier exposures brought from COVID-19. Furthermore, the relations above are not related to the level of ESG investment. Furthermore, this relation is more pronounced if examining the level of COVID-19 with testing number and accumulated testing numbers. In contrast to Ding et al.(2021), in some models of our study, the firms with higher score in environment, social, government pillars achieve lower returns in 2020. |
