Abstract

In this paper, we test whether Google searches provide useful forecasting ability on some of the biggest logistics and supply chain companies' stocks, during two crises of different origins, namely, the crisis of 2008, and the COVID-19 crisis. We also examine the spillover effects among these stocks for both periods. Additionally, we compare the aforementioned results regarding the two crises. Based on our findings, the examined keywords provide useful information for the forecasting of logistics and supply chain companies' stocks for both crises. Especially for the crisis of COVID-19, Google trends contribute to the forecasting of these stocks' performance, even in some cases that the pandemic data did not provide. Finally, there are spillover effects for both crises, but for the COVID-19 era, spillover effects are less in multitude than those during the crisis of 2008.
