Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted almost all spares of global social, psychological, and economic life. The emergence of various variants and corresponding variations in daily infection asymmetrically influenced economic indicators. This study extends the existing literature by exploring the hedging potential of crude oil, carbon efficiency index of green firms, and bitcoin during this pandemic. This objective is realized by employing the recently advanced rolling window multiple correlation of Polanco-Martínez (2020). This approach is based on the new p-value corrected method, which has advantages over other correlation methods. The sample observations are based on daily data from 1/22/2020 to 12/20/2021. In the bivariate case, we find a significant positive correlation between COVID-19 and CEI, while a negative impact is observed between COVID-19 and WTI. Similarly, we observe a significant and nonlinear association between COVID-19 and BTC. However, our findings show positive and significant correlations among variables in the multivariate case. The overall findings show that CEI and BTC can be safe havens for investors during this worse pandemic. The study's robust findings can be used to derive important policy implications worldwide during the COVID-19 pandemic.
