Objectives: To explore (a) the approaches to corporate social responsibility (CSR) implemented by e-commerce platforms in China during the early stage of COVID-19 (ESCOVID-19) and; (b) the factors associated with the platforms’ choice of these approaches. Methods: We collected the CSR data from the Internet during ESCOVID-19. Conventional content analysis was used to develop the targeted approaches. Finally, based on the frequency analysis of each approach, rank-based nonparametric testing was conducted to answer objective (b). Results: Three main approaches (i.e., donative CSR actions, responsive CSR actions, and strategic CSR actions) and eight sub approaches were implemented. The strategic approach was the most frequently used approach. The platforms with higher market size implemented more donative and strategic CSR actions than the platforms with lower market size did. Donative CSR actions were significantly implemented in the earlier period, while strategic CSR actions were significantly implemented in the later period. Conclusions: Our research highlights the importance of e-commerce platforms to help the public survive and identifies that market size and time were associated with the platforms’ CSR choice. The design of prevention and control policies should incorporate and support e-commerce platforms and evaluate the factors when confronting future public health crises.

“…These uncertainties usually damage domestic and global economies (Salisu and Akanni 2020). In previous work, researchers indicated that uncertainty was one of the important factors influencing investment decisions (Vickman et al 2012;Zhu et al 2021). Therefore, uncertainty needs to be incorporated in the decision making process.…”

“…Several recent studies have investigated the impact of uncertainty concerning stock market returns and volatilities (Coskun et al 2020). Bakas and Triantafyllou (2020), Chiah and Zhong (2020), Albulescu (2021), Hemrit andBenlagha (2021), andZhu et al (2021) studied the link between the World Pandemic Uncertainty Index (WPUI) and different stock market indices and found a negative link. On the other hand, Wang et al (2021) examined the association between uncertainty and S&P 500 returns and found that the uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic was positively linked to the stock return index.…”

In this study, we investigated the impact of COVID-19 investor sentiment (CS), number of cases (CC), and deaths (CD) on bank stock returns in 16 MENA countries. In addition, we examined the interaction effects of CS with CC and CD on bank stock returns. Lastly, we looked at whether Islamic banks outperformed conventional banks during the pandemic. Based on monthly data from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries from February 2020 to July 2021, we used the clustered standard error fixed effect estimation on Islamic and conventional bank stock market returns. The results suggest that CC and CD have negative impacts on bank stock market returns while CS has no effect, except for the lagged value. The interaction effect of CS with CC and CD on stock returns proved to strengthen the link in the current month and weaken the link in the previous month.

“…Numerous countries have enacted various sorts of lockdowns and quarantines, adding to the tension and panic. Due to a lack of medical supplies, particularly masks and respirators, international rivalry for masks and respirators has pushed hospitals and health centers to restrict their supplies [12]. These reasons have contributed to an increase in global insecurity.…”

This article examines the relationship regarding risk and uncertainty. While it is well known that investments in the future are predicted based on future economic trends, the acceleration of globalization and the transformation of the world into a larger whole has led to the fact that what happens in any corner of the the global economy can be affected. In the paper, the impact of political decisions on economic and investment risks and the impact of certain contingencies on investment risks are discussed, and the uncertainty of the future caused by COVID-19 is studied. The paper also shows how companies or investors can deal with risks and manage them through case studies.
