Abstract

Using panel data covering 136 countries from 1989 to 2019, this study investigates the impact of epidemics on energy security. Our empirical results show a significantly negative impact of epidemics on energy security, not only in the current year but also in the next five years. Moreover, the adverse impact can be weakened in high-income countries.
