Abstract

In this paper, we examine the reaction of US oil and gas producers to the COVID-19 pandemic. We find that firms react to COVID-19 heterogeneously. The pandemic significantly explains 28% of returns and 27% of return volatility. These findings are qualitatively consistent when using competing COVID-19 indicators.
