2020 October - 27 articles

Cover Story: The coronavirus crisis has damaged the U.S. economy. This paper uses stock returns of 125 sectors to investigate its impact. It decomposes returns into components driven by sector-specific and macroeconomic factors. Idiosyncratic factors harmed industries including airlines, aerospace, real estate, tourism, oil, brewers, retail apparel, and funerals. There are thus large swaths of the economy whose recovery depends not on the macroeconomic environment but on controlling the pandemic. Macroeconomic factors harmed industries such as production equipment, machinery, and electronic and electrical equipment. Thus, reviving capital goods spending requires not just an end to the pandemic, but a macroeconomic recovery as well. View this paper.
