Abstract

The stock market in Indonesia crashed during the Covid-19 pandemic. This paper aims to examine the relationship between the local and national Covid-19 cases with the abnormal return of the local companies in Indonesia. Previous studies have found that coronavirus has impacted the global stock market, including Indonesia, but there is a lack of research in the local area. This paper uses the event study model and regression panel data with a random-effect model. The statistical result shows a significant correlation between the growth of local cases into the average abnormal return of local companies in Indonesia; also, there is a significant correlation between growth national cases into the average abnormal return of local companies in Indonesia in the following day. In conclusion, the growth of local Covid-19 cases affects the average abnormal return of local companies’ stocks in Indonesia; meanwhile, national Covid-19 cases only impact the following days.
