“…The most popular measure of COVID-19 has been the number of deaths and the number of virus cases (Gurrib et al, 2021;Haroon & Rizvi, 2020). Other COVID-19 measures include the Google-based COVID-19 fear sentiment and investor attention to the pandemic (Chen et al, 2020), a global fear index that combines indices of COVID-19 cases and deaths (Salisu & Akanni, 2020), an index of uncertainty due to pandemics and epidemics (Salisu & Sikiru, 2020), an accounting index reflecting the periods before and after the COVID-19 outbreak (He et al, 2020), and other government response indices, such as the COVID-19 government re-sponse stringency, containment and health, and economic support indices (Chang et al, 2021).…”

The multitude of papers exploring the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic over the last 12 months has motivated us to develop new, alternative measures of COVID-19. One limitation of current research has been the lack of robustness in quantifying the effects of the pandemic. We use a novel approach, word searches from popular newspaper articles, to capture key variants of proxies for the pandemic. We thus construct six different indices relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, including a COVID index, a medical index, a vaccine index, a travel index, an uncertainty index, and an aggregate COVID-19 sentiment index.

“…The effects of the current SARS-CoV-2 will be the most clear and durable in the tourism and hospitality sectors, as habits related to traveling and eating changed [19]. The pandemic resulted in huge revenue losses in the catering industry, accounting for up to 80% of revenue, and many restaurants were closed, with even fast-food sales in the U.S. and China decreasing [20][21][22][23]. Similar changes were found in Europe [24].…”

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in 2020–2021 changed the eating habits of people around the world. The aim of this study is to understand the effects of COVID-19 on changing consumers’ eating habits, including their concerns about food service nutrition in case of new disease risk factors. The survey conducted using the computer-assisted web-based interviewing method on a group of 1021 adult respondents in Poland. We collected information about consumer choices and habits related to use of food services during the pandemic. This research found that COVID-19 had an impact on consumers’ use of food services, both on-site and take-away. Using cluster analysis, we identified five main groups of food service consumers. It was found that almost half of the respondent group did not change their diet during the pandemic, 20% of respondents changed their diet to a positive one, and 20% to a diet that was negative. For respondents the most important forms of protection against COVID-19 in catering establishments were hand disinfection (70.3%), table disinfection (70.4%), wearing of masks and visors by staff (68.2%), and the possibility of cashless payments (64.6%). Based on cluster analysis (eight consumer clusters), we stated that majority of respondents did not see any threats to using catering service during the pandemic. Only a small group (8.1%) of respondents were afraid of the possibility of getting sick with COVID-19. This study presented the effects of COVID-19 on consumer eating behavior in catering and their concerns with food services uses. Discovering consumer concerns can reduce risk, increase food safety and improve eating habits.

“…The contributions come from both innovations in medical technology and the establishment of a modern public health care system. Compared to literature focusing on the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial market (1)(2)(3)(4), this paper aims to find financial instruments for the public health care schemes (PHCS) to hedge pandemic risks. During the pandemic period, the PHCS bear a large number of medical expenses.…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by a novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, has caused a large death, a range of serious health problems, and significant economic costs in many countries around the world. This study analyzes statistical characteristics of pandemic disasters using historical records since the Middle Ages. Compared to literature which studies the effect of the COVID- 19 pandemic on the financial market, this paper attempts to find two financial instruments in the financial market to hedge pandemic risks. Two instruments could be useful for public health care schemes to increase their assets or decrease their liabilities during the pandemic period, namely, assets in the form of a biotechnology investment portfolio and liabilities in the form of pandemic bonds. Empirical results show the feasibility of such instruments and the informational efficiency of the U.S. stock market.
