“…Net FDI inflows decline significantly along with the surge of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the inverse impact is the highest in the lower and middle quantiles. The devastating impact of the pandemic on net FDI inflows is also confirmed by the studies of [ 24 , 28 , 29 , 43 ].…”

“…In their recent paper, [ 43 ] have examined the relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and FDI for 79 developed and developing countries. They have also argued how sovereign wealth funds affect the COVID-19–FDI nexus for countries with sovereign wealth funds and countries without sovereign wealth funds using a cross-sectional ordinary least square.…”

The study explores the role of the COVID-19 pandemic on foreign direct investment in 12 emerging countries for the period between 2014 and 2021. The world pandemic uncertainty index is used, and panel quantile regression approach is employed to analyze the effect of the pandemic on foreign investment inflows. Unlike the conditional mean regression analysis, panel quantile regression gauges the independent variables at the different locations of the dependent variable. For this reason, it provides a more comprehensive illustration of the impact of the independent variables on dependent variables. The results show that the pandemic has an inverse effect on foreign direct investment in low- and middle-foreign investment receiving countries, while the effect is insignificant in high-foreign investment receiving countries. Apparently, the health crisis has been further harmful to the countries that have weaker economic structures.

This study addresses the FDI flows into developing countries during the first COVID-19 pandemic year, regarding their resilience countries or not. From a realistic perspective, unlike previous crises, the Covid-19 pandemic is a health crisis affecting all of society, and secondly an economic crisis. We Used the percentage change in FDI flows between 2018-2019, and 2020 and other explaining indicators to illustrate the effects. the results revealed Covid-19 has affected FDI flows into developing countries severely by negatively affecting FDI flows to you through indices. Infrastructure, education, export, and death rate. In contrast, the positive impact on GDP, the workforce, openness, and trade in services. In terms of countries, the effects of Covid-19 are negative in terms of FDI flows in Asian countries, led by Macao while India and China resisted steadfastly as China focused on IT industries, while India focused on digital investment. The most vulnerable is Africa, which relies on FDI for its growth and development, despite Africa's lag in foreign direct investment flows, while the Central African region resisted due to oil exports, as well as Senegal due to investments in energy in 2020. Finally, the state of weakness also extended to a large extent, Latin American countries appear to have had a history of grappling with structural development challenges before the onset of the pandemic, adding to its impact.

“… McAlearney et al (2022) studied the mental health status of first responders (including police, firefighters, and emergency medical services) and their influencing factors during the pandemic, and many similar studies have been conducted in the literature ( Cohen Veterans Network, 2020 ; Stogner et al, 2020 ; Hendrickson et al, 2022 ). The economic developments of all countries in the world are severely hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic ( Islam, 2021 ; Mishra and Mishra, 2021 ; Nwosa, 2021 ; Fang et al, 2022a ; Huang et al, 2022 ; Nawo and Njangang, 2022 ). Also, a large number of residents’ incomes have declined significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic ( Fang et al, 2021b , 2022b ; Umiński and Borowicz, 2021 ).…”

Since December 2019, the COVID-19 has continued to rage, and epidemic prevention policies have limited contact between individuals, which may has a great influence on the income of individuals, exacerbate anxiety and depression, and cause serious mental health problems. The current study aims to examine the association between income and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic by using the data of 9,296 observations from the 2020 China Family Panel Studies. Employing ordinary least squares regression and two-stage least squares regression, we find the significant positive effect of income on Chinese mental health during this pandemic. In addition, the number of cigarettes smoked per day has significant negative effects on mental health. Education levelˎmarriage and exercise frequency have significant positive correlation with mental health. Furthermore, the impact of income on individuals of different groups is heterogeneous during this pandemic. The impact of income for well-educated individuals is less strong than their less-educated counterparts. People who exercise regularly respond less strongly to changes in income than those who do not exercise. Finally, individuals’ salary satisfaction and interpersonal relationship are shown to be the potential mechanism for the effect of income on Chinese mental health.
