How Energy Sector Reacted to COVID-19 Pandemic? Empirical Evidence from an Emerging Market Economy by Daniel Ştefan Armeanu, Camelia Cătălina Joldeș, Ştefan Cristian Gherghina

“…The empirical results of ARDL models provide the first conclusion of the analysis, indicating that the number of short-term connections was greater than long-term connections, which is also explained by the presence of short episodes of high volatility recorded in the investigated time interval. Another conclusion drawn from this study is that COVID-19 cases registered in Europe and around the world have made a significant contribution to explaining the evolution of the energy market, owing to the large number of cases registered in these regions and the level of contagion transmitted from these markets to the energy market. …”
