Abstract

This study examines the asymmetric effects of positive and negative changes in media attention to COVID-19 and daily new confirmed COVID-19 cases on China’s stock market volatility by utilizing the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model. Empirical results show that media attention has a pronounced effect on China’s stock market volatility and this effect is greater than the direct impact of COVID-19. Finally, several important policy implications arise from these findings.
